i know that they smell
literally
wrong wrong wrong.
just like normal hair......dreadlocks only smell if people don't wash them.
normal hair gets smelley if people don't wash it.
even some people with dreads don't know much about how to look after them.
for instance you can't use normal shampoos. and using conditioner is a big no no no. conditioners make the hair oily due to residues and dreads fall apart. normal shampoos have fragrances and other chemicals in them that don't come out of dreads and remain in them causing mould or oils that make the dreads come apart. thats why a lot of people have ratty or smelley dreads.
you're supposed to use shampoo that has no fragrances or residues.
i couldn't be bothered addressing all the other ridiculous posts.
