^fellow dreadhead!
i find that GARD shampoo works for me. mas ok din lalo na yung menthol variant lalo pag summer. and of course, if works well in preventing dandruff. same procedure, 1/4 tabo, dilute some shampoo, pour. massage your scalp, let it get to the dreads and tips. leave on for a few, rinse and youre all good.
i do it every other day.
pag weekends or at least twice a month, i spend more time in the bathroom with a more tedious process - the baking soda and apple cider vinegar cleanse:
lukewarm water in a 250ml sprayer bottle + 1 teaspoon baking soda. mix well than spray directly to your scalp. leave on for 30mins to 45mins then rinse thoroughly with water.
tapos 1/4 tabo lagyan mo ng apple cider vinegar. i use the cap to measure, mga tatlong puno is good enough. mix well, pour directly to scalp and let it run through the dreads, rub your dreads for at least 30 secs than rinse with water.
after nyan, do your regular bathroom thing.
i used to go to the gym and i sweat a lot. by following the above cleaning procedures, wala pa naman akong naging problema sa amoy at kahit anong mga tumubo.
yung sa GARD shampoo pre, expect mo na maging parang brittle yung buhok mo. yung parang tumigas sya na parang alambre at medyo makati sa scalp. you can remedy it by rinsing with 1 cap apple cider vinegar sa 1/4 tabo ng tubig or mag conditioner ka ng isang thumb size lang ang amount. problema, mainit sa ulo yung conditioner.
at least once in every 3 months, bili ka ng 1 bottle ng licealiz shampoo to prevent lice and kuto(im only telling you about this as precautionary and para di mo na maexperience). ubusin mo lang yung shampoo ng 1 linggo(once every two days). mabango sya sa buhok. kung di lang insecticide yung main ingredient nya, gagamitin ko sya regularly hahaha!
