Is sweating actually a good thing for dreadlocks?

I understand that salt helps dreadlocks lock up faster, and of course there's lots of salt in one's sweat. I figured that the salt in sweat is good for them, but the sweat in sweat might not be... Can anyone give me input as to whether you should try to avoid sweating or welcome it as a positive thing for your dreads ?

I've been wondering the same thing for the last few days now.

I guess you're right Corinne- it all depends on the individual. And I don't suppose walking around with sweat in your hair is good forhygienicpurposes.

Steve, let me know if you figure it out ^_^
