Yes I agree with eagle. Vaseline is way too greasy and heavy. It's gunk up your head.

My favorite product is Urielpure Best Dreds . It is all natural, stops any itch, and nourishes your scalp in a great way.

I also prefer an oil mix over vaseline if you are looking to make your own thing.

Fight the good fight!

Thanks for the reply :)

I don't know why he recommended it, he obviously thinks I have the same problem as him :)

I wouldn't suggest using vaseline on any kind of hair. It leaves a build up, it is really thick and unfortunately a lot of hair care products geared towards African American are petroleum based. You would bebetter off going the natural route when it comes to the health of your dreads.

petroleum goes in your car, never ever on your skin or your hair! Why do people still buy petroleum jelly?
