New dreads question!

Hi guys and girls, i've had my dreads for almost a month now, but i have a question. The person who did my dreads told me not to wash my dreads for two months. I'm allowed to use dry shampoo but not allow my dreads to come in contact with water or soap. I've got hair 'flying' around my head and my scalp is a bit itchy even though i use the peppermint spray and dry shampoo. What do you guys think? should i wash my dreads?

Here are a couple of pics of me. What do you think?!

 

the person who did your dreads doesn't know shit.

wash with a residue free shampoo
don't take advice from the person who did your dreads
and learn to smile

nice mac

 

hahahah thanks ! what should i do about the loose hair?

 

leave the loose hair.

they will either form new dreads or join other dreads.

if they really annoy you look into crocheting dreads... although thats a never ending battle.

loose hairs will be loose

 

how often should i wash my dreads, keeping in mind they are a month old?

 

wash them when you feel they need it.

I wash mine when they start to feel greasy/grimey.... that takes about 2 weeks for me (bear in mine I've had mine for nearly 2 years)

When I first started I was around once a week. And I'd massage the residue free shampoo into my scalp/roots.. and kinda masturbate it over my dreads. (feel free to comment about this GlenGlen )

Like grab hold of a bunch then with the other hand work it up and down. Try not to run your fingers through your hair though.

Be aware that they may loosen quite a bit.. this will happen. After the loosen they will begin to tighten again. So don't freak out and make a thread about it

 

so the waxing/spraying should be done on a different day then?

 

waxing/spraying shouldn't be done at all bro

 

what? no waxing? at all ? hm..

Sorry bro... wax = the wrong way to go about getting dreads
