When can you wash dreads?

Question

I got my dreads 2 days ago. When can I wash them? No immature comments just wondering because the lady never told me when.

Well, so long as they aren't covered in wax or so called "locking gel" you should wash you hair as often as it needs about once to four times a week, with a residue free shampoo (I like Seanik from Lush) and no conditioner.

If the woman did cover your hair in cr@p... sorry, wax, then you will want to wash your hair with washing up liquid and comb everything out. Then start again with your friends at home backcombing or twist&ripping without wax or anything like that.
