Dreadlock shampoo?

Alright, so I am a moron. It was only after my dreadshampoo order arrived that I realised that the locking gel contains soy, which I am allergic too! My own fault for being too excited about ordering some that I didn't check! Grr.

Unfortunately, due to customs, (I live in the UK), I was charged a lot extra for my order, AND received a damaged bottle of shampoo the buggers. Thankfully I can use the shampoo, but I have just discovered the below products and wondered if these will be ok to use in the future? Sadly I am struggling a bit financially, and as much as I would love to continue ordering from Vicki, it doesn't look like I will be able too, unless I finally find gold at the end of the rainbow!

Also, can anyone recommend an alternative to the locking gel? I'm not even sure if I will like putting it in my hair, but I wanted to try it x

Would something like this be worthwhile?

Not sure about the soap, but i know the pomade isn't good for dreads. Sorry:[

hey fimbul,

The BS and ACV wash dont seem to work to well in our water overhere, so i tend to switch between using the Lush solid shampoo bar called seanik. I find it works great but its does contain a small amount of SLS which isnt the healthiest ingredient ever but its in all standard shampoos and soaps.

The best on I have found here is called Faith in Nature Tea tree again it does have , I dulite a usual shampoo amount into a 1ltr jug and apply direct to the scalp.

Heres the links to ingredients

Hope that helps

Hi Christina

Thank you for replying! I've actually been using the Lush squeaky green bar along with the BS, but I've found it makes the dandruff quite bad (eeew). I used to use the Faith in Nature Chocolate shampoo, but I was worried about the ammonium laureth sulphate! It seem to be impossible to avoid in the UK!

Do you find the Faith in Nature good for locking up?

Hi SE, I thought they might be, on closer look I noticed the word "moisturizing" used quite a lot. I am thinking of making my own liquid shampoo instead, with raw coconut/sunflower based castille soap, and essential oils/avocado oil.
