I got to thinking a while back and I was wondering, do your dreads start to smell after not washing them for a while? I don't mean a flat out putrid smell, but a more funky-like almost musty smell. I myself don't have dreads yet but I am starting to wash my hair every third day to help the locking process and by the second day my head smells a little funky. I was wondering if anyone else knows what Italking about or if this is normal or if there's a way to fix this. BTW I'm using dr. Bronner's castille peppermint soap invade anyone was wondering.

Does it smell?
My hair smells like it smelled when it was straight and I didn't wash it for a while. The only difference is now I don't have residual perfumes from regular shampoo to add to the scent.
i never notice a smell but i add oilds to my wash and rinse so maybe thats all it takesor maybe youir just 1 of those ppl with extra sensative smellingor wait hows youir diet scent is largly due tpo wehat your skin excretes, meat eatters definately smell more because they excrete more toxic crap through theyre pores, same with ppl who eat alot of junk food garbage and stuff full of preservatives etxcif the scents diet related changing tyour diet and maybe doing a cleanse or sweat lodge to clean out your system will helpif it is diet related youd probly notice body oder and brearth oder as well thougfh

I've been finding a slight smell after 3 or so days. It's not potent & I've asked workmates who say they don't even notice it. It must be from the nape underneath cos the dreaded parts that reach to my nose just smell like hair. I do miss having "pretty" smelling hair but it goes to show how much residual perfumes were in the shampoo & conditioner I used. When I'm goin out I'll give my lock a spray or 2 of aftershave instead if on my neck. Girls get a surprise when I don't stink like old feet!
