Wow, thanks guys! I will try not washing my head after a workout and see how it does. I'm ordering some dread shampoo too, so hopefully that'll help also <3

Is it gross to not wash your dreads after sweating?
I workout 4-5 times a week, and also play basketball. I sweat ALOT! lol, and still wash only once or twice a week. I probably should wash more but that's just my routine right now. Also after working out I make sure I let my hair out and not wear any hats or beenies so the sweat can dry. Hope this helps, bless.
It does, thank you so much!

If you're concerned, then you can rinse out your hair in cool/cold water after the gym to get most of the sweat out every other time at the gym instead of washing it, that is to say, if you don't have high quality dread soap.
I wash mine when ever I feel like (about every 3 days) what harm will you do? It is them same hair you had before, just like any hair, you don't want to strip it of all natural oils, so go light on the shampoo, if you are washing a lot. If your dreads are not locked up completely, it will just mean you will lock up tight later than if you hadn't washed daily, but that being said, clean hair locks up better than dirty hair, I am just saying in the early months of new dreads, there is more work keeping them from finding a another dread to join in with. hope this helps everyone has there own way of doing things that is just mine. Good luck
