I've been waiting for this day for months: I have finally run out of dreadlock shampoo. How cool is that?
Shampoo is the one thing that I can't really use on just half my head. That means that if this proprietary product is having a deleterious effect, I won't notice a difference from one side to the other. No good!
Now I've read (sadly I can't find where at the moment) that the dreadlock wax business depends upon products that remove wax in order to survive. If that's true, then I should think that my nurtured locks will be impacted. There should be more hardening of those locks, and I should be able to detect surface wax for longer periods of time.
I'm now using a natural shampoo recipe which was my staple before I started this madcap adventure, and which I understand is a pretty common one for dreadlock care. However, according to this article on waxing dreadlocks, a baking soda and vinegar regimen can also be used to remove wax, so it's possible that I won't see the buildup I'm expecting. But maybe this combo will work better at wax removal than the shampoo. Not sure how I would demonstrate that, but feedback is welcome!
