nope no waiting, wash when they start to seem dirty/oily. if you used a starter method there may be some loosening or "falling out" (less with backcomb than tnr) but it's a process of loosening & tightening, things have to move to knot. a clean head makes for happy dreads!

so i dont have to wait a certain time period to wash my hair? & what about the new baby dreads i backcombed?
Ixchel said:dirty hair won't knot, oils make the hair slip instead of catch. baby dreads should be washed with a non-residue shampoo (bs/acv or dreadlockshampoo.com are good options) 2-3 times a week or whenever you feel they need it. washing helps knot by messing it around too!
