Dreadlocks Shampoo

Dreadlocks shampoo is the most important dreadlocks product you can use. When you have dreadlocks you should wash them at least 3-4 times a week in dreadlocks shampoo. Many websites will tell you that "Clean hair dreads faster than dirty hair". They are 100% correct. The cleaner your hair is the easier it is for the hair to hold the knots. The dirtier the hair is, the more lubrication from dirt, oils, and grease there is on the hair. These things lubricate the hair and keep the knots from tightening and locking.

When you have dreadlocks you have to use a dreadlocks shampoo that removes residue and doesn't leave residue behind. Any dreadlocks shampoo that claims to have nice scents, moisturizers, or medications has residue. Residue is anything that is left behind after you have washed your hair.

The reason you have to use a residue free dreadlocks shampoo when you have dreadlocks is because dreadlocks tend to hold stuff. When you have straight hair the residues left behind from shampoos and conditioners falls out during the day and when you brush your hair. These residues also help keep your hair from getting knotted. When you have dreadlocks you are not able to brush the residues away, and they are not able to fall out because the hair is not free flowing. The residues build up after a while and cause the locking process to slow down. Some residues will keep your hair from completely locking up ever! Residues also hold water and can cause the dreads to smell like mildew. The residues can also have their own stinky scent.

But don't worry kiddies, you can prevent these bad things from happening just by using a residue free dreadlocks shampoo. Sounds easy enough to me.
