dreadlocks - history


Dreadlocks are much more than just a hairstyle. They are a way of life. Dreadlocks are different for everyone. They can be spiritual and religious, they can be a statement, and they can be fashionable and fun. Dreadlocks are what you want them to be and never let anyone tell you that you can't have them for this reason or that reason.

Knotty Boy - Dread Shampoos
  • Available in bar or liquid form!

Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Shampoos are specifically formulated for people with dreadlocks, working to prevent and combat the problems sometimes encountered during the dreadlocking process and thereafter. From a healthy scalp will grow healthy dreads, so Knotty Boy is working hard to dispel the widespread myth that all dreadlocks are dirty.
Dreadlocks, just like braids, cornrows, and any other hairstyle, need to be washed regularly to keep them clean. There is no reason why dreadlocks should ever be dirty or smelly as long as one has access to fresh, clean water and shampoo!

Both Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Shampoos are made traditionally in small batches from scratch, using saponified vegetable and organic essential oils only. Both clean like nature intended, without any harsh cleansers or foaming agents which create artificial levels of suds simply for consumer appeal. Because of the lack of chemical additives, softeners and conditioners, these truly natural shampoos are ideal for keeping dreadlocks and scalps sparkly clean, without hindering the locking process or irritating sensitive scalps or skin.

So which one do I choose?
Whichever you prefer! Both shampoos will deliver the same sweet-smelling, dreadlock cleansing results, only one is in a bar form and the other is liquid!
Some prefer the shampoo bar as it is very travel-friendly, lightweight and more foamy than the liquid shampoo. The liquid is the more conventional form for shampoo (big 8oz bottle), easy to use and its powerful minty scent will keep you smelling fresh for hours. The choice is up to you, or try both!

Product Description:
The natural and essential oils used in these formulations are extremely beneficial for hair and scalp health. Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Shampoos gently cleanse, allowing the hair to retain nutrients and moisture, while the rosemary, tea tree and peppermint essential oils work therapeutically to treat and prevent dry scalp, dandruff and other skin and scalp irritations.
Use anywhere you need a good scrub - also proven to be effective in the treatment of problem skin and acne, and as an all-over body wash.

Ingredients:
Saponified Organic Oils of Palm, Coconut, Castor Bean and Hemp, and Organic Essential Oils of Rosemary, Peppermint and Tea Tree

Directions for Shampoo Bar:
Unwrap the bar, breathe in the icy-fresh pep-o-minty scent, strip yer nekkid self down and hop in the tub. Wet hair and get the 'poo bar wet, too. It becomes very foamy just like a bar of soap, so you can either work up a good, thick lather in your hands and scrub it onto your scalp, or you can rub the bar directly on your scalp and work up a lather that way.
Once you've done that, get down to the scalp with your fingertips and give it a thorough, but gentle scrub. Let the essential oils get in there and do their thing for 2 or 3 minutes, too. Then, allow the shampoo to rinse through the dreads, thereby cleaning them without handling them too much. This is the best way to clean new, still-soft dreads without damaging all that hard work you've put into them. Rinse and repeat as necessary - you will be able to feel how squeaky-clean your scalp is after its been rinsed, and where you need to shampoo again.

Directions for Liquid Shampoo:
Pop the cap on the bottle, breathe in the icy-fresh pep-o-minty scent. Wet hair and pour a bit of the shampoo into the palm of your hand. Apply to the scalp and spread evenly around, working it down to the scalp with your fingertips and giving it a thorough, but gentle scrub.
Apply more as needed in order to cover entire scalp - remember, a little goes a long way. Let the essential oils get in there and do their thing for 2 or 3 minutes. Then, allow the shampoo to rinse through the dreads, thereby cleaning them without handling them too much.
