Dreads: part 2

I konw this probably aint the right forum but ill ask anway..if anyone has dreads would you be so kind as to tell me what products you use to wash them?? ive heard residue free shampoos do the trick but i cant find any in the shops and they're quite expensive to order over the internet

Redken products supposedly don't leave a residue? They're not that special, just need to know what brands to pick.

hmmm, i see i must try it out
thanks:)

I think a lot of the Neutrogena ones would be suitable too. They're a fair bit cheaper than Redken. Can find them anywhere like supermarkets or chemists.

when i had dreads, i used vinegar and water.No it dosent stink!
two parts vinegar to five parts water,then rinse,it kills any icky smell,helps them knot up nicely,cleans your scalp and stops those itchies.

Vinegar and water that just might work ill give it go anyway..its been nearly two weeks since ive had my dreads and ive yet to wash them but i think ill give them a clean tonight the itching is becoming unbearable...

Heh,itchies used to drive me nuts!
let them dry naturally but roll them between your hands while theyre drying so they can knot up some more.
g`luck!
