Do I have to use a different shampoo when I have dreadlocks?
Yes, you need to use a shampoo that leaves no residues behind in your hair and removes residues that are in your hair. The reason using this kind of shampoo is so important when you have dreadlocks is because dreadlocks like to hold stuff. When you have normal hair the residues are free to fall out and fall out while you are brushing your hair, but when you have dreadlocks you don't brush your hair, and the hair isn't free to let the residues fall out. So the residues begin to build up, and after a while they can cause the dreadlocks to mold. The residues also lubricate the hair, so the knots can't tighten as much as they could if there were no residues there. I recommend Natura hemp shampoo

What are residues?
Residues are anything that is left behind in the hair by shampoos or any other products. Residues build up on the hairs and lubricate them, this slows down the dreadlocking process because the knots aren't able to fully tighten. Residues can also build up and grow mold inside the dreadlocks.
