Dreads Are Dirty

Are dreadlocks unhygienic?

Dreadlocks are not just dirty hair, in fact, dreads aren’t inherently dirty. Just because you get dreadlocks does not mean that your hair and scalp will be dirty. There are dirty dreadlocks, and there are clean dreadlocks.

How do you clean gunk out of dreads?

Submerge your locs into the baking soda solution up to the roots. Soak your locs for up to 10 minutes, or longer if you’re in need of a deep clean. As your locs soak, the baking soda will strip away dirt, oil, debris and other unwanted buildup.
