so yesterday was my 5 month dreadeversary! my dreads are looking awesome and locking up fanastically. but i've noticed they are starting to get a little stinky. i used baking soda to wash them, but what can i do so they don't smell?
what makes dreads smell bad is usually mold. Mold is very bad...not only does it smell....but it can cause dread rot....the hair actually rots. very nasty stuff. To avoid mold make sure your hair dries completely after you wash it. Never ever go to bed with wet hair. Never ever pull it up in a pony tail or a scarf when it is wet. Dry dreads are happy dreads!
if thats what it is white vinager and lavender will take care of it so will sunklight but could also be just environmental stink like cig smoke fried onions motor oil it all depends on what your dreads get exposed to
u can try the www.dreadlockshampoo.com soaps which smell devine
or maylees if u dont got hard water
