Nope. Dreads love getting wet, and you should wash them 2 - 3 times a day. Clean hair dreads. It needs to be clean in order to dread.

Just make sure they have enough time to dry before getting wet again, so they wouldn't develop mildew. It's not an issue in the early stages, but it's better to develop the habit of making sure they're dry early on.

Thanks! i think you meant 2 to 3 times a week :P

yea week not day id be in the shower constantly washing 2-3 times a day..lol

Haha... Yeah, that's what I meant. Answering people's questions before having coffee in the morning, and that's what you get. :D

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but my question was nearly the same as yours and felt two different threads on this topic could be a bit redundant. Just to clarify, I'm doing natural dreads, washing once a week (my hair isn't very oily and that's going from washing every single day to just once a week), and then the rest of the time I just hop in the shower and drench them without using shampoo. Should that be an issue or should I try not to get them wet until I wash them with shampoo (using Just 4 Dreads Dragonsblood liquid shampoo, and it is AMAZING. Smells so good!) Also, I just started dreading this past Sunday (so 3 days ago, ha!) and my hair is already sectioning off pretty damn well in the back.

u can wash more often hen weekly u can wet it daily but when its dreaded u wont want to cause it dries so slowly so u might want to start getting used to only wetting when u wash but washing every 2 or 3 or 4 days

That's some pretty solid advice, thanks man! With that in mind I'll probably give it a wash tomorrow, that'll make it 4 days, and it seems like it could use it now.
