It doesn't Stink at all and this is how most of his dreads look.. We haven't put anything in his hair in over a week.. Its soft, fuzzy but tacky feeling and growing from the inside out..

the baking soda should not be bleaching his hair at all. it should not have stayed in his hair. did you rinse the hair thoroughly with water after the cleanse? If the hair was not rinsed, that could be the reason there are white patches, literally being the baking soda still in his hair.
Also, I have heard a few people have issues with white gunk in their hair. It was always caused either by wax, or by some shampoo with residues in it, however. To get the wax out, many people use dawn dish soap. I know it sounds bad, but it will not harm your hair, and is one of the ONLY things that can actually get the job done. It will require using about a full bottle of dawn, mixed with hot water,and scrubbing on individual dreads. If you search the site, you would be sure to find very specific instructions. If you are serious about doing this and have any questions with that, I can get you better instructions.
Also, the shampoo is sometimes the culprit for 'white gunk'. Make absolutely certain his shampoo is a residue free, 'dread-friendly' shampoo. If not, it will leave many different moisturizers/conditioners that will remain stuck in the dread, and build up over time.
A picture might help other members identify the issue more clearly as well. These are the best theories I can come up with for the time being. I personally do a BS rinse and a ACV rinse, and it works wonderfully for cleaning my hair. Good Luck.. Keep us posted
Thank you

try using this shampoo.... http://shop.dreadlockshampoo.com/
it works wonders. makes your dreads smelll lovely, and its vegan. everyone here thats tried it (most of everyone has tried it and/or using it still), loves it! i use it and im in love with it. there is also a WAX B GONE. use that!
Soaring Eagle Thanks for the tips.. You have to retwist at the scalp when you get new growth every 6-8 wkslol he won't be bald. Everyone retwist or dreads the new growthto keep it looking fresh. Also his hair is natural and no dyes..Also African Americans need moisture in there hair to keep it soft not hard/crunchy feeling..I would like to try the Dawn or the Wax be gone..How do you lock your new growth?

Tucker that sounds like a very inteesting theory that may be true.. The person thatstarted and did his dreads the first2.5 years used blackwax and all thisother stuff.. I onlyuse honey and gel... Howcan we get that gunk out hanks again
Call Tucker said:
I dont understand why it would cause white gunk to appear, even when they were used together. It sounds more like residue from a wax or shampoo or something put in the hair, that you just noticed after you got all the dirt out of the hair that was covering it up before.
