Q.  How do you wash your hair?  Or do you wash at all?

A.  I can buy dread shampoo, and I used to.  But now I use non-fragrance bar soap.  I’m specific about non-fragrance because fragrance will stay in your hair.  That results in scalp itch, and that’s no good.  I can never use conditioner, because that would mess with my dreadlock tangles.  Instead, my dreadwax actually conditions my hair for me.  So when I was my hair, I just lather up the soap in my hands and rub it all over my scalp.  When I’m done, I just rinse it off.  I have to rinse for a long time because I don’t want any soap residue.  That would cause scalp itch as well.  After that, I whip my dreads around to get the water out, then I wrap it in a towel for several minutes before letting it down to air dry.  When I have my hair down, it’s usually cause I’m letting it dry out.  I don’t want to tie it up when it’s wet because then my dreads would get musty-smelling.  Yuck…
