    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!

    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

    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. :)

    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.

    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

    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!
