Is this Shampoo good for dreadlocks?

Dread Products

haha

i bought this shapoo in some really weird shop in france 4 years ago becaus i thought the name is funny

i even kept the bottle but i flushed away the shampoo because it was basicly crap it loosened my dreads and i got a lot more frizz from it plus it smells really akward

but it was still worth buying it because the bottle always remembers me of the awesome trip we had this summer with a bunch of friends throgh france...

but i always fill it up with teatree oil

pour rsumer i wouldnt recomend it

Ye, another one.

it doesnt smell doesnt leave residue and is gentle with your scalp

Dreading Methods

this is pretty much the thinnest i could find on my head

i dontt think it is a problem but depending on the type of hair you have it can take way longer to mature for the thinner dreadshope this helps you

Drying your Dreads...

Dread Maintenance

i live in germany so i have kind of the same problem.what i do when its cold is i simply take like the whole sunday free and in the morning i wash my hair and then i do all the stuff i have to do inside like washing or cleaning up the mess this kind of stuff its just important to leave the dreads open because if you wrap them up in a towel the water wont evaporate.
