Aren dreadlocks dirty/smelly/unwashable?
Nope. This continues to be one of the greatest myths about dreads – that you get them by never brushing or washing your hair. Though some traditional methods of dreadlocking include this, it’s unecessary to form dreadlocks like this. As well, oil (from your scalp) isn’t very good for your dreadlocks, so you should wash regularly to keep them clean.
