How often should I wash my hair

How often should I wash my hair on the journey for natural dreadlocks( the first month) I can find many things on when to wash them if they are mature but not to many just starting

I wash 2 times a wk sometimes 3 but try to stick with Wednesdays and Saturdays. All depends if I start to get a little itchy!

I'd say 1 - 3 times a week is fine, if you wash too often you're dreads will be wet too consistently and you can develop mold issues.

Thank you all very much

There's no reason to wait. I know a lot of people out there say to not wash for the first month or 2. But that only creates dirty hair and builds up oils.

Personally, I useitchinessas my guide. Some weeks it works out at two times, sometimes as low as once. If I wasn't doing the BS wash it would probably more often, but I find it to be a little bit of hassle to do too often. I always rinse my hair before I go out on the town or anything, just to tame the frizz.

I average 2x a week. Mondays and Thursday or Friday. Like Adam, I use itchies or oily loose hair as an indicator to wash. I use bs as well and find I don't have to wash as often. In the early stages it's bet to was more often (like Robyn).
