Whats your shampoo like?
Dread Products
as for dry shampoos... i used tigi's rockaholic dirty secret. i know its better to wet wash but when you're short on time its a good in betweener. just spray on focussing on scalp, leave for a while (your hair will be coated white but dont worry) then flip your dreads upside down and shake and rub all the white out.a couple notes if you do choose to use1) do it outside if you can. it has a very strong smell, not unpleasant (limey) but a bit overwealming. i used it outside, went to work and when i got home 5 hours later the smell was still lingering around.... yeah i'm sure its somewhat environmentally unsound but thats another can of worms2) if you use this particular product be sure to put a piece of tape or something over the nozzel between uses cuz the bottles are defective and the product will evaporate out of the can (its not cheap, about $20)all in all i liked it, scalp feels instantly clean and it totally eliminated the itchy feelingoh, one more thing. alot of shampoo powders have cornstarch which you may want to avoid cuz who knows what kinda mush will be left in the dreads once it is wet washed...

i tried something new this time, i didnt shampoo my new dreads for a couple weeks but instead used jcloths and qtips to clean my scalp with facial toner and tea tree oil, worked pretty good... and i used spray dry 'shampoo' occationally to dry things out. I'm shampooing with residue free shampoo now, things are progressing nicely. I am planning to follow soaringeagle's suggestions for dread cleaning and maintenance in the near future though.
dread wax why ya don't want it why ya don't need it and how to remove it
Dread Products
for wax removal, i suggest before all the hot water and scrubbing to use a blow dryer on high heat to melt wax individually out of each dread and remove what you can with paper towels, then move on to the washing part
what are some of the best/ worst questions that you get about your dreads
General Questions
I work at a customer service desk in a mall and get lots of questions and comments. I dont mind explaining them to ppl. The worst though was an old guy in a wheelchair coming up to the desk to say " your hair is so ugly, its just ugly, it looks terrible, why would you do that to your hair? its so ugly" etc... seriously he used the word ugly like 6 or 8 times!!i was just like "sorry you feel that way"
