    So I live in a house with well water and iron in it. My hair has now been stained with rust and went from blonde to orange..I read that vinager is good to remove rust on normal hair, but would this work with dreadlocks? Any tips are appreciated!

    If Vinager Works On Normal Hair, I Can See No Reason Why It Wouldnt Work On Dreads.

    Dreads Are Made Of Normal Hair, It's Just Locked Up..:).

    Lemon juice (citric acid) can be used for light rust removal on some surfaces, so you could try that on your hair without doing much, if any damage. And it'll lighten your hair if you go out in the sun.

    anything that works on regular hair, should work on locks, minus the leave unremovable residue.

    check the label first Im not sure if its safe on skin

    works great for coffee pots and radiator flushes though
