    I love the way my dreads feel after being recently washed. Not right after you get out the shower but as soon as the dry out completely. They feel so knotty and happy. I just love that feeling. Plus they smell so yummy...ummm


    Anyone else know what I am talkin about or is it just me???

    yes! I love that feeling, I can't stop sniffing them all night. I think I end up sniffing the scent out. :) I hate the end of the week though, the day before I wash them I feel my head all itchy... yuck(then I know its time to wash, I have a schedule for it, lol).

    I love them then too. They're so soft and fun and light. I agree with Earth Mama though. I hate the way they feel just before. ick. lol

    I also found it's easier to maintain them shortly after they've been washed (still at the stage where they want to undread at times). :D

    I love it After I un-wrap my big towel from on my head and swish my hair back and then shake my head ahhhhhhhhhh such a nice feeling.

    I just washed yesterday!
    Oh and i got this new soap while i was away on my trip!
    it was only 4$ :) I go to go but i'll list ingredients later

    Hmm...I actually like my hair when I'm not washing it. My roots are really nice and tight, and then after I wash, they loosen and my dreads feel smaller. So I like when they're a few weeks "dirty"...haha. I'm actually trying to go for a personal record...I'm not washing 'em until next wednesday...then it'll be 3 weeks for me...haha. But then again, it's really nice to feel the water on my scalp and to feel extra clean...:)

    Funky-just put a nylon hose on em while you wash for the first few weeks or so.



    And I am glad to kno that everyone else knows exactly what I am talking about. And I also hate the way they feel right before they get washed.

    So how often do most of you wash your lil dreadies on average?

    I sometimes go a few weeks before washing. My dreads always feel tighter and more puffed up after washing, but they tend to stick up every-which-way....so I like 'em more when they have a bit of grease in 'em. :)
