    I'd hold out at least for a few more days personally... you could try the "wash through a nylon stocking" method if you're worried

    basically putting a nylon stocking over your head/dreads when you get in the shower and washing "through" the stocking to keep your dreads from "falling apart".

    Personally, I'd just wait a little longer. Besides, anything that comes apart will eventually dread back together with time anyways.

    I waited a couple of weeks before I washed mine. You'll notice the more often you wash them the less progress they will make

    I disagree... mine tangle up more whenever I wash them. They always feel tighter every time I get out of the shower... Seems like the times mine show the most progress is after a shower or when I wake up in the morning after sleeping.

    definitely need to drop a pack in the whatever the fuck its called box that everyone's talking about.

    I'm sure they have good shit in canada that I haven't heard of too though... I remember a dude I work with telling me about something amazing he ate on his vacation in canada but I can't remember what the hell it was.

    I think you should wash them whenever you feel they need washing. They will go through a loosening phase, then a tightening phase, at some point or another, to some degree or other, whether you wash them now, next week or next month.
