Ive stumbled across the ultimate dreading shampoo!
Dreading Methods
Im sure you have heardof Dr. Bronners magical soap(Which it definately is) but as i was using it i was scared about using it with my dreads because sometimes it would do wonderful things and sometimes it left my hair a little too clean and not so nappy... Well i have found the perfect solution to dreading for those who dont want to wait a year but still want all natural lovely dreadies. What I did was take mix about 1/2 or 1/4 of a bottle of doctor bronners with water (just use the bottle it came in) then i put a few very healthy pinches of dead sea salt (No substitutions) and began to shake it. And the product that occured was wayyyy different from what I expected. Something happens when you mix Dr. Bronners and dead sea salt... Something Magical! It turns into a foam that you can then just rub all into your dreadies(or hair) and the end result is something magnficent. It has done in weeks what has taken months. I encourage you to try if you wanna see things speed up a little but without sacrificing the uniquness of Natural dreads. =D blessings to all and much love!!!

Dreading has been a lifestyle change
General Talk
When i first got them (not too long ago) i started to notice things begin to differ in general, people look at you differently which isnt a bad ghing, and just personally i feel with my dreads i no longer have to really worry about who i was or what people might think of me ( ha never really have) so its left me a lot more social and getting me back to my roots. It has been a great experience already and the journey has just begun. What were some major changes for yall since dreading?

Hey quite new( and very fascinated) with the dreadhead culture, i was a huge fan of dr bronners before dreads and rrmember my hair hetting nice and wild and thinking hmm this would be great for dreading. Just how good is it for immature dreads and how long do leave it in for max effect a few seconds or a few minutes
