No Wash Dreads?? anyone done it?

Dread Maintenance

Well I understand in today's society, living in a first world country people take advantage of washing their hair from time to time. But it occur to me that people from prehistoric time's or Egyptians didn't have modern umm... equipment. Anyways, the way I see it, the oil that human produce from the scalp catches the dirt flying around and eventually falls out due to the weight. Just a thought how the process might of happen ,even though washing dose have its benefits.

Well I mix all items needed in to A Pitcher{BS,Lavender} The pitcher only holds 2 quarts of water and is wide as my hand. Just enough room to place my in and part or my forearm to mix when fill the pitcher.

The products I've use are Rosemary oil,Lavender oil,TeaTree oil. Careful with the teatree one. It uses are for antiseptic purposes. It could easily irritate the scalp and cause bleeding.

Thursday Plantation, I like their products. I've only used teatree oil/ toothpaste/ and cinnamon toothpicks

Lavender Harvest and Rosemary are Aura Cacia products.

They come in dark bottles, have droppers for measurement. I trust these products

I'm doing the same thing too, I just use baking soda, no vinegar, rinse with cool/luke water. I wash my hair Dreaded of course when needed. I've gone as long 2 weeks without washing, but when I do, I will use a lot of baking soda {2quarts water mixed with half cup of baking soda}. Rinsing is the most important for me. I like to make sure there's no excessive oil/dirt when it comes to squezzing whats remains in the dread itself. Honestly I think a month without washing is a bit much, but oils to help, like Lavender
