2 Types of Dread Rot and How to Prevent Them!

[@premeothegreat77]

Bro! You are the reason I've decided to free form! I've been back & forth with myself as far as going free or maintaining a twist... but the freedom I'm hearing with free forming sounds lyke the way to go for me. Thanx for all your informative vids bro... Peace and blessings

[@Scrappylocs]

That’s awesome to hear bro 🤙🏾 good luck on your freeform journey and HMU if you’ve ever got any questions, one love ✌🏾🌴

[@manny30curry11]

Nth but straight Faxxx bruh!Good Vid bro! I wash my hair usually around noon and I wash it every 2 wks on Thursday. My schedule changes a day or two depending on if I was able to wash it. But yea, Ive been using Palmer's Coconut Oil Conditioning Shampoo since I first started and I use Garnier Conditioner. I also use HollyWood Beauty coconut oil, wrap my hair in ponytailers at night, twist my hair at skool when Im bored and thats all! 8 months of freeform!!One perfect Love..Ah!!🌴✨

[@Scrappylocs]

Manny 30 Curry yeah bro that's what I'm talkin about! Stay up on that you have a good regimen going and sounds like it's working well!

[@ambrosecooke3833]

You are my favorite dreadtuber

[@Scrappylocs]

Ambrose Cooke thank you! 🙏🏾 that's awesome to hear, and very encouraging!

[@ANewPretty]

Thanks bro bro... I seen white in one of my dreads & almost panicked

[@ReMpFreddie]

i think im experiencing the second type ive probably washed my hair everyday the week trynna get that shit out

[@Scrappylocs]

Alfred X wash it like normal but under very hot water (the hottest you can stand( and add a bit of tea tree oil to the shampoo and then take a towel and squeeze the area out

[@ReMpFreddie]

i think i got it out now i guess i just gotta keep my scalp moisturized

[@Scrappylocs]

Alfred X yes sir very important. Try coconut oil and tea tree oil with castor oil and massage it on your scalp a day or two before your next wash, this is what I do and it helps a lot as I have a very dry scalp

[@ReMpFreddie]

Appreciate it

[@Mellonotes]

So I accidentally slept with wet locs recently and then I saw a video about dread rot and now I'm slightly freaking out lol

[@GreatnessCrown1]

very helpful g keep up the informative work💯

[@Scrappylocs]

OG HealthyLocs thanks bro I'm glad you liked it

[@palmeraayala9474]

Good advice. If you go swimming in the pool, not only do you need to wash your hair. Regular shampoo will not get all the chlorine out, you have to go in with a good clarifying shampoo, and then, a moisturizing one, and then after, an oil, like jojoba. Hvn’t seen u for a while. Missed you.♥️

[@WTFVIDSok]

Couldn't watch the whole thing due to time constraints. Tea tree oil? Maybe incorporating that monthly or at some other interval?

[@CherishMyDaughter]

Excellent! When you say dry your hair, are you recommending a blow dryer?

[@Scrappylocs]

CherishMyDaughter only if you need it. I don't use one, just shake and towel for me, but if you're needing to go to bed or need your hair dry then by all means use one just don't burn your scalp!

[@MissStellaRae]

Which Shea moisture shampoo do you use? I recently starting using the Jamaican Castor oil shampoo with pepppermint and apple cider vinegar!

[@topoftop6134]

what about dish soap or mouth wash that kills bacteria?

[@sirispescador5590]

Question? Can your hair type be a factor because my hair type isn't really that thick and I have yet you run into this problem with my current set of locs and dreads in the past. I rarely use products and I feel like that's part of the reason why I don't have build up

[@yonamatiya9558]

Hey Scrappy how are you? Wanted to ask,how do I grow my hair fast? Any ingredients you may recommend?

[@Scrappylocs]

Yona Matiya I'm doin good! Hmm I'm a fan of less is more, drink plenty of water and eat well and the hair will grow. I honestly don't think anything else will do much.

[@enaruvie]

Love your channel name. Informative video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ashleywatkins1380]

I cut mine off. I had the first type of dread rot.

[@Fathom916]

New subscribers. Im on the journey with u , don't even have a mini fro yet

[@julianaramirez3429]

How Did u put the hot water and tree tea oil in your Hair? Did u mix the two? Did u soak? How long? Did u shampoo after? What exactly did u do?

[@Scrappylocs]

Juliana Ramirez I made a soak and soaked that mixture for about 10 minutes, I then rinsed with hot water for about 5 and then did a regular wash. Hope that helps 😁👍🏾✌🏾

[@julianaramirez3429]

Scrappylocs thanks, sweetie

[@dickass7576]

Idk what i have im pretty sure its tge second type because my mom keeps telling me it doesn’t smell moldy but the white stuffs stuck in a few dreads at like the middle

[@moto8572]

Hey what about scabs around your hairline and the sides of your hair

[@Scrappylocs]

I get them too from eczema, use hydrocortisone cream and soak them in warm water to help them off of your hair

[@moto8572]

Should I see a dermatologist or it’s not that serious and it something I can take care on my own

[@moto8572]

I’m 14

[@TRUJ3RZBUNDLES]

Definitely have type 1 I dont wanna cut my hairrr 😥

[@nicksunday5697]

Is it bad that I wash every 2 days?. I'm in the second month of my journey of free form.

[@gb23a]

Studies have shown that there is more bacteria in dreadlocks than the toilet seat

[@victorcesar3147]

Do you know if dread rot kills hair follicles?

[@lambchop8653]

i have the second one. I used a acv rinse twice another time and its still not all the way out my head. Ive only had my locks for like 2 months nd the more i was the more they are loosening

[@Scrappylocs]

LambChop Ahhh I would recommend gradually lengthening your wash routine and using hot water and tea tree oil to get rid of the buildup. The ACV rinse may actually compounding the problem rather than fixing it so maybe try just hot water and the tt oil and see if that helps

[@ReMpFreddie]

i tried acv too and it didnt work

[@moto8572]

And will airdrying your locs give you dread rot ?

[@Scrappylocs]

No so long as you make sure they get fully dry within about an hour

[@charlietraplin6919]

Bruh does that Blue magic hair conditioner help when first starting locks?

[@Scrappylocs]

Nate Hendrix NO! Don't use anything on your hair that has petroleum in it, very bad for your hair and scalp

[@charlietraplin6919]

thx man

[@serendipitous123321]

v informative 💯

[@Scrappylocs]

ugghhh thanks for the feedback man!

[@yonamatiya9558]

Thanks a lot.

[@Sorrowdusk]

Does this really work on Dread Rot? Original (Yellow) Listerine is something I've seen in some vids kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPano2Fl9iYqNk
