dreadheadhq called rippoff and scam
Dread Products
It can be hard to read motives when, as you said, you believe certain sort of people will be genuine and aren't just out to make a buck. Our whole society runs on the quest of making a buck, sadly. People get ripped off all the time about a lot of things, not just in regard to dreadlocks. I found the DHHQ site early on too, though didn't get to buying their stuff. I put off getting dreads because I wasn't sure, till I found this site. But I know how easy it is to buy in to their hype and their products.
If getting dreads is a learning experience, maybe this is lesson number one. The best and most real things in life are free.

To be honest, I found this site through the google search "dreadlock forum" because I wanted suggestions about making my own shampoo, or where to buy a better one locally. I found DHHQ several months back (before I found this one) searching for "dreadlock shampoo" and figured it would be a legit purpose because you don't think someone with dreads is sitting at the helm of this huge, evil corporation. It just seems so contradictory. So it doesn't really cross your mind. It's hard to know who to trust on the internet.
I like to think I'm an intelligent person and I do a lot of research, more than most people would I think. But I ended up buying into the wax trap. I'd neverheard orread anything different.There are always times people get screwed over by misinformation, even when they think they're being offered information from a reliable source. The lesson I learned in all of this is to look at the motive behind the source. Are they trying to sell you something or not?
