Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo - residue or no?

Dread Products

My mom got me this Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo, and it seems to have a lot of natural essential oils in the ingredients -

Water, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Peppermint Leaf Extract, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Babassuamidopropyl Betaine, Vinegar/Acetum/Vinaigre, Camphor, Menthol, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Polyquaternium-4, Fragrance (Parfum), Linalool, Limonene, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Gluconate, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid.

Now, I'm not sure what a lot of these things actually are and I'm kind of naive when it comes to ingredients and whether they're natural or not, but a lot of these seem like chemicals to me.

However, the Aveda brand says it's "The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences," so I'm kind of confused.

Does anyone here use Aveda? I read somewhere online that it's basically a clarifying shampoo, so does that mean it's non-residue?

Hey, guys!

So I'm over 2 years now. Lots of progress has been happening. Basically, the top layer is finally starting to dread up, and people are able to tell that I have dreads now. People are still pretty uninformed, but I get a lot of people that love them and want to touch them.

What I've been doing as of late is BS with some sea salt & a solid shampoo/soap bar before that.

It's really been taking off since I've been combining the two of those things.

So, on the 14th, it'll be 21 months since I've brushed my hair.

It's been a slow progress but I was amazed when my friend took these pictures for me yesterday. Comparing these to the very first day I got started is absolutely crazy! They've changed so much. Another year and they'll be 100% dreaded, I'd say.
They're exactly where they need to be right now

Hey, guys! So my dreads are almost 16 months now, I think. Haven't posted pics in a long time, but a lot of progress is happening!

I don't think these pictures really do my dreads justice. There's definitely more than 4 and they're clearly not totally mature yet, but they're well on their way! I was just so shocked because they seemed to appear out of nowhere one day, and I had to share the good news
Comments & thoughts, please!
I felt so uncomfortable about them for so long, and now I'm feeling really confident in my own skin.

Hey, guys! Just a quick update:I'm almost at 9 months and a week or so ago, almost seemingly overnight, all these semi-mature dreads just seemed to pop up. It's amazing! Just stick with it and your dreads will come!I'll post pictures sometime soon.After 7 months or so, i stopped doing the bs wash and got a coconut scented solid shampoo bar from lush and it has absolutely been working -wonders- . I'm sure in three months or so, my whole head will look almost fully dreaded!Peace & love to all.
