to wash or not to wash

ppl with dreads have to live with a bit of dandruff..... you can minimize it with natural methods.....DO NOT use h&s or nizoral or any medicated shampoo keep your locks free and natural and you will have healthy dreads 4 life!

another tip, in the shower finish off by soaking your dreads in cold water, its better for your scalp and avoid blowdryers, if you have time, airdry your dreads it helps them attract all those loose hairs

BTW THIS ADVICE doesnt apply if you used wax, that might complicate things
you should avoid dreadlock wax if possible

 

I tried avoiding that shit, but sometimes it calls me up and says, "Hey! wanna hang out?" Then I say, "Fuck you bitch you're gonna piss off my surfboard!"

 

me too! I love shampooing my hair. Feels sooo good. I lather, rinse and repeat a good 5-6 times, alternating working from front to back and back to front.

I do this maybe once or twice every week to 10 days.

 

You must go through the poo awfully fast...

 

I buy big bottles and i use a small amount each time (size of a quarter or less)

Also, I'm not using anything exotic or anything.. just regular pantene clarifying shampoo *shrug*

I've been on the same bottle for at least 3-4 months now. My gf goes through shampoo much faster than I do, but she washes her hair every shower, where I'll skip a few.


also, hehe.. you said "poo" :rofl:

 

I like shampooing as well... but I second not using wax. I started out using wax and I got dandruff so bad and my scalp itched horribly. I felt the urge to wash every day... now I'm just washing once a week and things feel great

 

I like your siggy. =)
