Chlorine and dreading?

I've put in a few dreads (after combing most out...sections were too big!) with TnR and thinking about doing the rest by neglect. Anyway, my question is will chlorine ruin baby dreads and prevent my hair from dreading naturally? I go swimming alot and just want to know if it's bad for the hair.

I was wondering the same thing tho, my natural neglect dreads are a little over 2 weeks now and i'm going to the spa tomorrow. I'm a little scared it will undo them all :s

I Started my dreads three weeks ago and was curious of the same questionnn..

i know chlorine dries out hair like crazy. i read that you can rinse it off without shampooing and it doesn't hurt your hair but i'm not sure if that's the same case with dreads.

Just came back from the spa and they look as mutch sectioned as before so i think it wont do any harm. Just make sure to rinse them well.

Yeah this is a great discussion, I was coming on to start one about the same thing. I know that we want our dreads to dry out but I can't tell if the chemicals will cause them to break or smell or what. Like you I go in my pool a lot and really don't want to have to wash them every time. I was trying to invent a leak proof water proof wrap but have failed so far haha!

Get the dreads wet with fresh water before you jump into the pool.
