Wondering if anyone has used it and if it's any good for dreadlocks? Doesn't say anywhere on it really, I bought it but I'm just wondering if I should be worried about build up or anything. Or if it would be good for re-twisting? I've only had my dreads since april so haven't retwisted and not sure if I plan to or if I'm just going to let my hair do it's thing but, just curious.
You will need to post ingredients etc. I'm assuming it is a shampoo? You should never re-twist your hair. Re-twisting will cause a condition called traction alopecia. You certainly don't need to do it on any type of hair, but it is a common starter method for African type hair.

Hi Denise. Re-twisting the hair is not only damaging, but will halt the maturing process and put you back to the early stages. If dreads do not loop & shrink to fatten up, then they are unable to mature. Why would you want to do that? Please read the dreaducation section at the top of the site to learn about healthy dread care and what you should and should not do for life lasting dreadlocks. Put up with the messy stages and you will be greatly rewarded with the dreadlocks of your dreams.....peace.

Lol, you all commented on the retwisting but said nothing about the product I was asking about. I've already read most of the stuff on here, I know retwisting isn't good. If I did it it would be very rarely. I just want to know about the product.
& to answer the question I'm biracial. my hair is kind of an in between.
Alright, I won't use it then. Wondering though, any suggestions for something to put on the scalp?? That was the main reason I had bought it but I dont want to try to put it on my scalp and risk getting it anywhere else if it's no good for the hair. Any idea of something I can use to kind of moisturize the scalp between washings? Is it good to use something to moisturize the dreads themselves? If so what works?
The warning on the bottle I see says it's flammable. Nuff said. Its main ingredient is petrolatum. It's a parrafin, which is much more flammable than wax, or even gasoline. And it burns longer. So don't even use it, just for that reason.
The side effects of petrolatum are irritation, burned skin, stinging, and inflammation. The cayenne pepper will only exasperate this. And it will burn you if you get it wet.
Every review I read, so far, on Amazon said it leave your hair a greasy mess. One guy even went as far as to say it made his hair look like a deep fryer.
I'd stay far away from it. The wax will only destroy locks, and the parabens are really bad for you
Thank you for the advice everyone, I appreciate it. I definitely won't use it, and I'll look into the other suggestions.
