whats the longest you've gone without washing your dreads?

i just washed mine for the first time in 2 weeks --i think thats the longest ive gone. haha i duno man i was on spring break and i discovered how kickass showercaps are. cause my hair takes forever to dry and its a pain in the ass.. lol.. i duno if id wait that long again though.. haha

 

The longest was 3 weeks, and I did it as a challenge to myself. I actually enjoyed it but when I washed 'em it was like...oh man, this feels great...lol.

 

I think I might have gone about 3 weeks. I traveled from Virginia to Maryland. Then from Maryland we went to Indinia. And from there we went to Colorado to see Keller and YMSB for NYE. And we made the same stops on the way back. So it took us about three weeks and I dont think I washed my dreads the whole time. It takes all day for em to dry and it was COLD, so I did not want to be walking around with wet dreads. I remeber when I washed em after that how good it felt to massage my scalp!

 

2 or 3 weeks...it seems to make them not better when i dont wash them often so i just let em go..i dont mind

 

longest i went was about a month right after i had just gotten them. all that did was give me some hardcore dandruff. but now i wash them around every two weeks for my regular "schedule" - seems to work well

 

about 3 weeks too. I dont like going too lokng without washing them really

 

i say no longer than 2 weeks...after that, they are all safkljasflkajgag

it's weird, if i don't wash my dreads for awhile, it seems like they start to thin out and look all limp and weird. then, i wash them and they're all phat and fluffy again. so, i like washing them often.

 

diti what the bloom said bout feeling limp.

 

3 weeks.
Although I shower almost everyday, I wear a showercap.
Once you haven't washed for a long time and then you wash it's the nicest feeling ever.... mmmmm.

 

lol I'm such a dirty girl compared to you people! It was 2 MONTHS...I was in the woods, didn't have running water to shower space. *shrugs*

 

if i dont wash my hair after 2 days it gets so greasy i could compete with iraq for petrol

 

I think the longest iv gone with out washing was……. a month

hahahaha it was fun, in the kootanys and all over the gulf islands


I wash about once or twice a week now.

 

so what does everyone do..just wear showercaps when you shower? or just not shower for weeks? or pile on the patchouli?? lol

 

i just tie mine up in a bun. they get a bit wet but not too bad

 

Not shower for weeks hahahahaha jk

Tie them up.. dont mind getting them wet.. they dont get to wet

 

Shower Caps!

 

cant fit a shower cap on my head... so i just have them tied back and try not to get them wet when i shower. and they dont smell at all, but i´ll occasionally put some patchouli oil on for kicks

 

Iv never used any patchouli at all... every one talks about this patchouli ... i should get some.

 

I was on the road when I didnt wash for 3 weeks, so I really wasnt taking to many showers. My dreads were short enough that they would get that wet. Now I just use a shower cap!

 

2 months i think,
whats is that patchouli oil? for whaT?
