    Ended up in some girl's hotub till 6am after a night out on the town, to cut the long story short :p My hair got wet etc *cough*
    So the clorine has really dried it out, I know you all keep thinking i'm insane but It's stupidly dry, I don't want to resort to actual conditioner, so any ideas?:(

    Or, basically, anything a bit on the acid side.

    How old are your dreads?

    Mine are 8 months, and I have used a VERY small amount of conditioner on occasion when they feel way too dry and "crumbly" as I put it. I rinse very well, and if you only use a small amount (on your scalp/roots, not lathering the actual dreads in it), it shouldn't really hurt them. If they're old enough that they cannot be "untangled", then I'd say use a small amount of regular conditioner. If they're still too young and vulnerable, then I would definitely advise not using any because the smallest amount can really set your hair back a few stages (I did it to mine when they were 3/4 months, and it was horrible!).

    It's well worth enduring the stink, honestly. When I was swimming weekly with my dreads, they were getting so crispy. Then I tried ACV, and it was literally like I'd just used the most hardcore conditioner on them, without all the slidey fallingoutness.
