Goey white stuff in my dreads
Help! Save My Dreads
I've had my dreads for about 3 months and I refused to wash my dreads because I was extremely scared of it getting untangled so I waited a really long time before washing. A few days ago I washed my hair with soap that's for allergic people,recommendedby a friend that has 12 year old dreadlocks.
After showering and drying the dreads, they felt gooey inside and my roommate said that it's possibly because it's still sort of wet inside so I blowdryed my hair to really get it dry before going to bed. The next day they were still feeling weird and I was starting to worry. Later that day I ripped a dread open to see if there's anything inside and I find these small white dots all over the place and when I touched it, it felt really slimy.
Is this resedue from the shampoo or is it something else? I'm freaked that it'd be mold or something but my hair doesn't smell bad at all.
Here's the ingredients in the shampoo by the way:
Aqua, sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Citric Acid, Behenoyl PG-Trimonium Chloride, Hexlene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Sorbic Acid.
That doesn't sound very natural to me but it claims to be 0% Perfume/Colorants/Parabens and my friend uses it and he has awesome dreadlocks. Why isn't this working for me?
What should I do? How do I get this shit out of my hair!?
