Thank you. Yes, I shampoo fairly frequently. After my shower I can hear the bubbles still inside the thicker dreads. Drives me crazy. I typically just put shampoo on my scalp and then let the water wash it down the dreads. But even that seems like they are getting too much soap in them. I usually have my husband help me rinse them so he can see if there are still any suds. But when he is gone like now, I really struggle.
Before my dreads I had actually changed my shower head because the pressure was TOO hard and felt like needles. Now it seems to be too soft of pressure. I think we do have hard water and the shampoo I normally use is Jasn Tea Tree.
I am having more and more trouble rinsing my dreads out. I don't want to leave any shampoo behind. What is the easiest/best way to rinse and should I give up my shampoo?? I can rinse for 15 minutes straight and still feel like I didn't get all the soap out 
I agree

I also get asked a lot how I "made" them and when I try to explain to people that they made themselves they don't get it. They'll say, "yes but how did you start them". When I say I stopped conditioning and combing and allowed them to mat and then separated the mats they still don't understand. They think I magically weaved them or something, LOL. A little girl asked a cute question the other day though. She asked me what would happen if I started using conditioner. I told her my dreads mights start to come apart and that would make me really sad. The child had no problem understanding the concept of the tangles forming on their own without the use of conditioner. Why don't adults get that?
I hope these beautiful ladies won't mind that I used their pics in my photography collection
My husband is a business man so we attend a lot of formal events. I LOVE going into the events in dreads. I get some dirty looks here and there, but for the most part I get a lot of compliments. I always wear them down so everyone can see them in all their glory. I never get offended if people look at me weird, but it bugs my husband and he has to bite his tongue. LOL!

Thanks!! Usually when I see people with wax dreads they are very young. And I have had a million people ask me if I had to use wax to start them since that is "what they heard" . LOL! I even had a guy ask me if I used honey in my hair. Believe it or not kids usually ask more intelligent questions about them than adults do.
I saw lots of beautiful natural dreads at the Blues & Brews festival in Telluride, CO weekend before last. I was surprised that I really didn't see anyone with wax tube dreads
And last but not least, my own...
Thank you so much! I will try this! I used your lice advice when my daughter brought home lice and they vanished immediately!!
