Smelly dreadhead - Cause and Prevention

Dread Maintenance

Hi wonderful dreaddy community,

I just want to get your inputs regarding the subject. I know I've read a lot of thread about the topic but I think I'm missing some points.

I'm on my 6th month of neglect/freeform dreading. I'm using TeaTree & Nag Champa Liquid shampoo and Tea Tree bar from DLS + TeaTree EO rinse(sometimes). The trouble I'm having is now is sometimes being kinda smelly dreadhead. I can't actually explain the exact smell to name it, but after my wash day or in between wash day, my head become smelly like a smell of wet/damp hair for long period of time/kinda sweaty smell? maybe?

I noticed this issue when I'm using the liquid one but sometimes when using the bar one, I too got the smell but not that too much like when in the liquid. I know drying your hair is a big factor so sometimes when the time permits I sit/stand under the sun to dry but often times I just sit in front of a fan and wait for like an hour or two  for drying. I also do some Tea Tree EO+water in a spray bottle and use in between wash but maybe I'm missing the correct amount or procedure to apply.

What do you think about this logic? - Residue(becomes dandruff) + Sweat + Not so dry hair after wash = Smelly dreadhead(also itchy)??

Would appreciate any inputs, thanks in advance.

peace out

Dreads coming undone.

Dread Maintenance

Just to add. 

I'm not that familiar with the way you did the dreading but in terms of using wax, that's when I understand the terms. Been reading a lot of thread from this very impormative site and glad to learn from the start that dreading naturally is all you need is patience and appreciation. You don't need WAX!

Patience in terms of the changes that will happen along your journey and appreciation every changes to make your own journey and wonderful one. Everyone have different experiences and that's what this community is all about. (sorry lil off topic)

But yeah, as SE have said, you need to get rid of that wax as soon as possible, search the community for tips or just post another thread of your questions and information will be pouring down on you. 

Peace out!

This would be great!!

Though I just ordered a set to max out the shipping cost couple of weeks ago. Enjoying Vicki's products now though I'm still dealing with the random flakey/itchy stuff. Hopefully my hair would soon adjust to this washes and go back to normal and just being neglect.

But yeah, looking forward to having a hand on this new product, will surely include on the next purchase.

More great products from Vicki = more happy dreaddy community. 

Peace out!

So see you around!

General Questions

Greetings,

I'm in my 4th month of the natural dread journey and this site has been the resource of what i'm doing and what should im not be doing. Learning every day on the every post i've read. So thankful for the richness of information here. Thank you @SE. Thank you all.

I'm posting this one to reach out to my fellow dreadheads who's also on his or her journey, new or been through their lives which also lives in this part of Asia particularly the Philippines. I want to connect with them and share experiences through out this journey and the only way I thought of how I would do that is to post this and reach out whoever know someone from the same location as I am, please let me know on this post. Will appreciate any. Thanks in advance.

P.S. @SE hope i'm in the right thread to post this one but if not please feel free to move this topic. Thanks.

Hey just want add to the link to the post that tackles if u still need this which I personally apply with my journey: ACV+BS wash and specifics, there many thread/posting like this and this is one of those.

Hope this helps. Happy dreading!

Question about BS wash using distilled/boiled water

Dread Maintenance

Also thought of this scenario and actually doing this coz I'm have the hard water issue. Just a follow up question to the first post. Does it make sense mixing your bs/acv wash with distilled water and then rinsing out with hard water? The same with soaps that's having issue with hard water esp Castile soaps. Will it work if you dilute it first in a distilled water and then rinsing out with hard water? 

Appreciate any input! 

P.S sorry for digging out a not so old post, we have to keep the topics running )
