    Wash your dreads any time you feel like they need washing :) Unless you're, like, on the bus or something :p

    Not sure about the bead thing...

    Yeah you can wash them. If the beads fall out put them back in. They'll be less likely to fall out once the dreads mature. Simples.

    i9 wouldf not use the extras peprrmint oil unless u want your nose to be runnung your eyes to be on fire and not be able yto see cleasrlu a good long time
    tiny drop[s are super powerful if u get it near yoir eyes it wol be horrible if your dreads soak up too much and hget near yoir eyes..again horrible
    and your sinuses emptyomg like a floods not all to pleasant either
