What about lice in dreadlocks?
Dread Maintenance
You definetly can get FLEAS in your dreads. And yes, they definetly will reproduce in them also... eggs all over. I can say this because I have had fleas in mine since my cats ended up wtih a bunch of them. Being around their fur gave me fleas. And yes, they are FLEAS not LICE. Very tricky to get rid of too, currently trying Neem oil.
