I've tried tea tree/rosemary (nice light scent), dragons blood (smells like black licorice to me), goddess (lovely fruity floral scent, very feminine) and sandalwood/vanilla (quite strong and a bit too masculine for me). My next purchase will probably be another goddess bar and the cedar/sage one.

Is this shampoo is ok for my new dreads??

Dread Products

there's a shampoo company called bentley organics and they're based in the uk. you might see if you can order from them or if they carry the products in your local stores. the tea tree one in the green bottle and the citrus one in the orange bottle work quite well on dreadlocks.

the shampoo you listed looks good too but with the aloe being so close to the top of the ingredient list i would be worried it would be too conditioning unless your dreads are mature.

Is this shampoo is ok for my new dreads??

it could be that the corn, coconut, and sugar ingredients are actually decyl glucoside (natural corn oil & natural plant sugar) & lauryl glucoside ( natural coconut oil & natural plant sugar) both of which are in vicki's locking up liquid shampoo.

Corn sugar is High Fructose Corn Syrup, so it's not actually all natural. Companies have been pressing for HFCS to be changed to corn sugar, on packaging, because of the bad rap that the name has with it.

Aloe Vera is too conditioning, andGlycerinwill condition your hair too. If you have african textured hair, both are ok. But if not, stay away from them in shampoo.

The BS wash is great. I'm not sure where in Europe you are, but they may call it Bread Soda around you. It's NOT the same as baking powder.

Why can't you get the soaps from dreadlockshampoo? They ship overseas. If you by 5-6 bars at a time, the shipping is the same as for 1 bar. Then you don't have to buy it over and over

The back of my head -- it refuseth to dread.

General Questions

I'm a right side and back sleeper and it took my hair a good year to even begin to knot up in the back like the sides. i have no idea why it took so long. i guess your hair will just knot up whenever the hell it feels like it:)

lost a dread!

i find baking soda very drying when not used with the acv. maybe skip that part.

i ended up ordering the sandalwood one i also decided to get the new sea salt spray too.

I don't think it will be, I think the tonka bean has a hint of vanilla, so that should kind of tame the sandal a bit.

Heather said:

That's the one i was going to get. I love sandalwood. I'm hoping it isn't too masculine though.

Tim said:

I have always rubbed the bar on my hair all around and have always had heaps of lather, and it washes out quickly. I have the sandalwood on the way, cant wait. I'm like an excited child, because of shampoo!!! What have I become????

peace and blessings

lucky you. unfortunately i have the worst hard water and haven't had the best luck with a lot of washing methods. I'm really glad I'm able to use these bars now.

Reppyboyo said:

I always wet my hair first, wet the bar a little then swirl it all over my head.
Put the bar aside and massage it all into my scalp and dreads. Leave it in whilst I wash the rest of myself (so about 5-10 mins) then rinse out thoroughly.

Never had a problem with residue.
