Hi everyone!

So i got a dreadbar from a girl that use to make some wristbands and such for me. She specificlly said that it was mad for washing dreads and so on. The problem i have now is im having a really hard time getting it out of the "roots". I have washed it through twice now with water and its still there.

Anyone got any ideas how to get it out because im feeling a little bit desperate here..... :(

I think it is leaving a residue. Get a clarifying shampoo to start with, in order to wash away the residue, then switch to the BS/ACV wash (search function it) or get the products from here. http://shop.dreadlockshampoo.com/

Yes you could, keep washing until it is gone. Then I would do as Adam suggested, just to make sure all the residue is gone. Although I have never used a clarifying shampoo. Obviously don't use it again, and tell her the problem you had, she may not realize it is not suitable for dreads or in all water types.

Ye i think i will try to just wash it out with hot water. She said quote "Its made from all organic essential oils" so its not a chemical residue atleast.

Welllllll, this is probably BAD advice so take it with a grain of salt buuuut...Once upon a time on my first set of dreads, I used Dr. Bronner's straight from the bottle for a period of time- I had no idea, lol - and oh it was bad. My hair ended up insanely greasy because it wouldn't come out so I finally resorted to Dawn dish soap. I had tried baking soda and vinegar but to no avail. After the dish soap, my hair was super clean but I've been told it's wicked bad for your hair AND scalp because it completely strips your natural oils from them.Like I said, probably bad advice but if all else fails... It worked for me.Best wishes! And with the other suggestions people have offered, you may not need to resort to what I did, lol.

sounds like soap scum. definitely do a clarifying wash. dish soap would work great in a pinch.
