Alright so ive had my dreads for 16 months and they are pretty mature... What is the best product to be washing my dreads with? Is it ok to use conditioner or should i just stick to shampoo? As of right no i wash my hair 2/3 times a week with the shampoo from dreadhq, it seems to do good but i could be wrong

I use and recommend dreadlockshampoo.com. I think its the best shampoo around, I use the nag champa scent, which I call nag champoo (sorry, silly joke). They are the best.

Dreadhq are scams, I would avoid them, I don't know how good their shampoo is, but I would avoid them because of the lies they spread about dreads just to make money.

Dreadlockshampoo.com shampoo bars are awesome, really ethical, perfect for dreads, and Vicki is very helpful. I won't use anything else.

peace and blessings

The knotty boy and dreadheadhq shampoos are highly toxic and should only be used a couple times a year, if at all.Like Tim said, dreadlockshampoo.com stuff is the shit. They all smell awesome, leave your dreadies amazingly clean, leave no residues, work with hard water, the list goes on.Baking soda wash with apple cider vinegar rinse is amazing as well. You can add essential oils according to your needs/wants. A little extra attention to rinsin is needed I you have hard water tho.

Not only is it toxic, but it causes dry hair and dandruff in many people. I happen to be one. There are other methods of washing, such as the BS/ACV rinses (search function it). It's a little bit of effort, but I have been using it for months. Had I the money, I would buy the products that the others suggested.

I use the dreadlockshampoo.com bars. I really like the dragons blood scent, but all of them smell wonderful. I rotate washing with that and Kiss my Face brand "whenever" shampoo. It does not have harmful ingredients and it is residue free, Whenever shampoo has a citrus scent. I like it. In the summer I will do the BS and ACV a couple of times for real deep cleansing.

as they said dreadlockshampoo.com is best by far

dreadheadhq shampoo isnt a dread shampoo at all lil history

jonny is an idiot a dropout and a scam artist (or he calls it marketer but its still a scam)

jonnys daddy runs a cosmetics company

he had made a cat ear hair remover (lock peppa) and a hunting shampoo the hunting shampoo is extreme;y toxic causes dandruff psoriasis hair lposs andcancer but its only meant to be used when u go hunting it removes all scent so they cant smell u coming to kill them

its made to help you murder animals

dreadlockshampoo obn the other hands vegan never tested on animals every ingredeints pure and researched to find the most ethical sources (palm oil usualy comes from slave labour but she makes shure her sources dont)

i wouldnt use a thing from dreadheadhq..ever i wouldnt even buy a bead from them..nothing

Vicki doesn't use any palm oil, at least not in the dreads soap, and my guess is she wouldn't use it at all.
