What should I look for in bad shampoos?

The main thing you should stay away from with shampoos is strong scents. Whenever there is a strong scent present there are loads of residues left behind. It a shampoo is advertised for its scent you know its bad.

What are some brands of shampoo I should use?

DreadHead makes a great residue free shampoo that removes other residues along with not leaving any residues of its own behind. At the moment it is the only residue free shampoo we know of that is sold on the internet.

Which products work on already dreaded hair?

You can use the Dread Head, Let's Dread, and Knotty Boy products on already dreaded hair. I do not recommend the Knotty Boy shampoo, though, because it has all kinds of added scents that leave incredible amounts of residue behind.

Can I just use stuff around my house?

It's really not a good idea, most of the things you could use like eggs, honey, and glue will really mess up your dreads and hair, and you will probably have to cut your hair off.
