Are there any hygiene concerns with having dreads and doing things that cause you to sweat?
Absolutely not. We recommend once-weekly washing because
that seems to work best for most people. Twice a week is fine, too. Any more
than that and you run the risk of your dreads never fully drying out – and then
developing a funky mildew smell.
To freshen up between washings and after rigorous activities the Knotty Boy Natural MISTic Lock Deodorizer Sprays are definitely the way to go here, since they can be sprayed directly onto the scalp and hair as often as you like. They are a shampoo-less cleanser that kills bacteria upon contact and leaves your locks smelling deee-licious! |
