What to Do After Getting Dreads Retwisted?

After all dreads are twisted and secured the dreadlocks should be dried with a hair dryer. Take care not to over heat the hair as it will do more harm than good. Let it dry completely and sit for at least 3 hours if possible. Then you can release or un-clip the dreads.

How long does it take for dreads to dry after Retwist?

In most cases, the dreads will be dry in 20 to 30 minutes or less. If a hair dryer is inaccessible, you can also allow your hair to air dry after it is retwisted.
