Best Answer: In the first three weeks your dreadlocks be will very delicate and you'll want to wash them about every 5 days. After they have had a chance to establish themselves a bit, usually after the 1st month, you should begin washing them every 2-3 days. Always use residue free shampoo when you wash your dreads.
You should probably let your new dreads go for at LEAST a week before you wash them for the first time, two weeks if you can stand it. When you first put your dreads in, they will be only made up of loose hair stuck together in locks with the wax, until about 3-6 weeks later when they actually start to mat and dread.
