Tutorial and how to do a full blown dreadlock deep cleanse to remove leftover soap build up / residue and soften up more mature dreadlocks.

A follow up to my previous deep cleanse video, this is a slightly more complicated, but more thorough deep clean. This will clean out soap and shampoo residue, help remove lint, help protect against mold, remove the build up of day to day life and generally give more life back to tired stiff dreads.
Ingredients!
Hot Water
Bicarbonate of Soda
Rosemary Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Lavender Oil
Lemon Juice and/or Sea Salt
Apple Cider Vinegar

Personally lazy dread and knot nation are the only one I pay the most attention to especially cause they tend to say similar thing but have different points of views
Dude that skateboard idea is awesome
So I just deep cleansed my 9month old dreads for the first time, using your method, and they feel cleaner than they have ever felt. Your channel is great, so thanks for the wealth of knowledge you share.

I figure if I'm gonna wash my hair I might as well show others how I'm going it! Glad you like my videos :)
This is pretty helpful... I swam yesterday and someone told me this whitish residue was showing on my 2 year old dreadlocks...I immediately hit the search engines and thank God i found you... I have purely relied on locticians, but now i will do it myself... I bet they do not rinse my locks well.. I am so glad, i will wash out the residue tonight..
Doing a super fantastic deep clean as I write this comment. I just dyed my hair, washed it off and now soaking them dreads. The last time I did this, the dye came out of them completely but stayed on my hair (if that makes any sense), my hair was bright red! The water didn't have the slightest hint of color after my first shower. I was AMAZED!
Sometimes I just dump a box of baking soda into a hot bath and soak myself in it for like an hour. Totally relaxing and it also balances my skin out :)

@@RowdyChocolateOfficial Why would there be? Baking soda is really good for your skin and your hair. Bath bombs are baking soda and citric acid with oils added if desired. I should know. I make them.
I just did this (not with all the essential oils, but anyway...) and my hair feels great :) and the water was disturbingly dirty :D ...such a cool way of spending friday afternoon - cleaning my head from residues (and worries from all week while listening to audiobooks on my laptop) and soaking my dreads in warm water :)
You can do this on younger dreads, you can even add some seasalt to the soak to help them along. There aren't any conditioners in the mix so it's safe to do, just treat the dreads with care, take your time and you'll be fine :)

I did this wash last night and it was amazing! Thank you for your videos. They have helped me a ton!
i think you and your dreads are just wonderful! i just started my dreadlocks and without your vidoes i wouldnt have a clue what i was doing.they have helped me sooo much and i just really wanted to say thank you...and keep them coming lol
Many years into my dread journey I honestly have this video to thank for helping me stay so fresh and so cleannn, thanks brother
I have had my dreadlocks for almost 3 years and I will be doing my first deep cleaning this weekend. I really enjoyed this video it has been a big help!!!
The only dreadlock advice I listen to since day one thanks brotha for what u do
I really really want dreadlocks, and am learning everything I can before I get them, and this was great! It's really useful especially because you say how much of the ingredients you use! :)
I'm getting dreads soon, you've become my go to if a question pops in my head. Thanks for not being an excessive blabber and for posting good solid info. Also, you're adorable.
You're videos make me happy! You're such an energetic person! I can't wait to start dreading my hair!
I LOVED THIS!! ive been having so much trouble cleaning my scalp with my dreads and this really fixed the problem!! instead of using the rosemary oil i used cedarwood :D im so happy thank you so much !!
ive been on my journey since october 2016 my fiance has dreads as well. his are about 4 years old. you are one of few people i watch and enjoy listening to about dreads and i appreaciate youre time and efforts.
Just done this for the first time now. You would not beleive the colour of the water I used afterwards lol. Safe to say it worked!
i am thinking about starting dreads, and you are a very helpful channel to listen to to get info about them!
Been watching you for years, you'll always my go to man for my hair :)
I really wish I had discovered your channel before I took out my dreads! I didn't know I could get rid of the residue! I'm glad I know this before I get them back again :) Thanks!
I have some build up in my dreads, so I am going to try this out tonight. Thanks for the video man! Peace!
Thank u for all the awesome advice u give for dreads. You are prob the only one who gives tips that are accurate and don't damage ur hair. The rest crochet like crazy, and just give the useless maintenance tips. I read that crochet ur dreads actually make the loose hair and frizzyness worse, due to ripping hair inside the dread, which not only weakens it, it causes the shorter broken hair to become loose and frizzy again. So, again thank you for ur truthful videos. They have been extremely helpful! Peace Out, Mandi
I LOVEEEEE YOUR ENTHUSIASM!!!! :) Makes my day
Just tried this. I'm amazed what yuckyness came out still, while I wash em twice a week. My dreads are alive and light now! Thank you for this! :D
Your videos are so cool i like watching them especially this one since it will be my first time doing the dep cleanse. . Btw i love your dreads
Thanks so much for the great video! My dreads are 2 years 7 months and this was my first deep clean. Need to do more often!

My locks get fuzzies too (I had not been super strict about using lint-free towels, etc). I once decided to condition them because they can be dry-ish (I wash with baking soda which can dry it out) & I used Coconut oil, kinda massaged into my locks followed by a deep cleanse similar to Lazy Dread's cleanse (I only use teatree & baking soda follow by vinegar) & a large majority of the fuzz/lint came out when rinsing in the shower. Plus coconut oil makes hair shiny, strong & smells good.
wow I've only been doing my deep cleans with baking soda and 5 drops of essential lemon oils. no wonder they didn't smell too much better afterwards. I can't wait to try this out, thank you so much!!
Thank you my friend for making awesome dreadlock advice videos. I'm eventually getting my first dreadlocks once my hair gets longer and I'm never getting rid of my dreads occasionally get them trimmed to ease tension but other than that I'm going to live my life as a dread head.
Jeez man, my dreads have never felt this clean, EVER! mighty thanks!!
Great videos... I have had dreads for about 14 years now.. For years I dyed them and bleached them and generally didn't look after them all that well.. I have had natural color dreads now for about 18 months and am looking after them now days :) Im gonna try your deep clean treatment to get rid of some of the left over residue. Thankyou very much xx
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
I have got to try this SOON! 😄😄😄 Thx Lazy Dreads for the fun and facts 👍
Always enjoy your vids, and the legit information to try to get out to the people! Good stuff!
Extremely helpful information. Thank you so much for posting
I just did this wash today. My dreads have never felt so clean! :)
I think you are adorable! I love all of your videos, they were extremely helpful in helping me make the change to dreadlocks :)
i have literally been watching too many of your videos. like. i feel like i legitimately know you personally now. anyway. yeah love you man. I only have 4 partial dreads now. but everyone is saying it looks so good i should just get it all done. i don't know dude. that'd be a big decision.
I love your videos, they are so helpful, and doing research I just watch all your videos. thanks for all of them :-)
I'm really feelin this guys vibe.
Just what i needed...as always! Great video! :)
lavender actually has health benefits for the scalp as well
Duude, you are awesome! My girlfriend wants to do a deep cleanse, (and hell yeaass she needs one) so she showed me your video, and I can't wait to try this method with her. I think you might have given us more than just your knowledge about dreads. Thank you, you beautiful man. (:
Just watched ur video..... not deepcleaned my dreads since havin them last september! I will defo use ur technique this weekend to give them a clean!! Thanku
I am going to do this cleanse Saturday, thanks
Hey thanks for making this video. I’m going to try this with my two year old dreads that have never been deep cleaned
Thanks dude! Doing this RIGHT NOW!
I love your energy! Your vids make for fun watching :)
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful!
I just did this method. I started my dreadlocks about 1 year and 3 months ago, so I've done the baking soda and acv deep clean a few times now. This was the first time doing it this way, and my dreadlocks feel super soft and clean. Other methods that I've tried left me thinking, "Did that really do anything?" This one is really good! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge about dreadlocks!
I just did the soak then ACV then used Knotty boy dread shampoo, and my hair has never felt better! I think, personally, that the lavender is not necessary since it is just for smell, because once I put the ACV in my hair, thats all that my hair smelled like. Luckily the Knotty boy has tea tree oil and peppermint in it. I've had dreads for 2 years, after growing it straight for 6 (total of 8), so they are long and thick. This is my second time doing dreadlocks, and I can honestly say I have never even considered doing a cleanse. But after seeing this I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. The water looked like grey paint when I was done. I'll continue to do these cleanses for the rest of my dreadlocke's life. Thanks brotha, Positive vibes.
Hey bro so when you say "i then wash as normal" Do you mean you now use your soap you use when washing normally? Or do you just use water and treat the deep clense youve just finished as your "soap"? Thanks!
Thank you the info you put out it is super helpful!
Hey man, I've had my dreads for 7 months now and I deep clean once every 2 months. I use a whole lemons worth of juice, 3tbs of acv and 3tbs of bicarb. I also add in around 2tsp of my rosmary eucalyptus and hemp dread shampoo, soak for 20 mins and then rinse out thoroughly. It leaves no residue build up in my hair at all and makes it feel so clean!
Thank you l have some residue issues & l am giving this method a try
I go back to this video everytime I deep clean cause I never remember what goes in it! But great video.
Thank you! Yes purple is awesome, I paint all my walls in two-tone purple :)
i'm so glad I saw this, I've had my dreads for almost three years now, and just lately started smelling mildew. I did this with Dr broners, tea tree, baking soda and the hot water. how grids never fine a deep clean before.embarrassing how dirty they were
i appreciate you thanks so much for your time and love!
Laying here doing the soak and watching your videos!
It worked wonderfully I used store-bought lemon juice since i was short a lemon, so hopefully that's okay. The wash was even gentle to my baby dreads which have only been forming for several months. They look just as happy as my matured locks.
nice video man! when i do like the bicarbonate soda soak i usually add a lot of them things :) haven't done it in a while! might have to do it soon!
LOL! Great editing (the cuts), mate! :D
I recently subscribed...love your personality and videos 😊✌️I too have a channel derived around mostly dreadlocks. Thanks for being so awesome and funny lol
Excellent! glad it worked out!
Excellent! Glad to have helped
Can you use lime instead of lemon? Does it have to be apple cider vinegar or can it be regular white vinegar?
Oh my!!! The color of that water D: Cant wait to do mine ^^
all i have is baking soda and tea tree essential oil , if i just use those is that cool ?
Many many thanx; I;m just waiting on my micro towel to arrive and then my deep cleanse begins. I bin doin the bicarb wash followed by ACV but never did a half hour soak as yet... cant wait to see what gunk comes outta my waist length babies! Should be interesting...! Ta fer the heads up! :-)
Hi, thanks for this video! Quick question, would the lemon pulp stick on to the dreads?
how often should you do this kind of washing? once a month? should you wash the dreads after with shampoo?
My city water is hard and breaks of chemicals. Should I use purified water like I buy to drink?
I love your vids! Hella funny and you're dreads are sick!!!! :D
Question: if you are doing this method is it a must to use the essential oils or will it do the same job using the bicarb, lemon juice and acv?
dope video man, cheers x
I wouldn't even have my dreads if it wasn't for the Lazy Dreads KZread Channel!
is there any other substitute for rosemary oil? is there any other essential oils that help with scalp problems and stuff like that?
One one brutha man. This worked perfectly man thanks for the info.
You can do the basic bicarb deep clean whenever you want, but for this 'super deep clean' I recommend waiting until your dreads are a couple of months old because this mixture softens the dreads slightly which you might not want with really young dreads.
Hey, bro! Nice vids. Ive got two yr old dreads... How often do you recommend to do this cleansing? Thanks for all the tips. Bless ya.
what about lint in dread locks? I've noticed that mine take very well to it. I have some linty hats and clothes and I was wondering if there is an easier way to go about removing it? I have a crochet hook but i have pratically destroyed one with it.
question When should you do your FIRST deep cleanse wash? My wife has had her dreadlocks for about 4 months and they are maturing quickly!
would this get scalp flakes that have gotten into roots?
question: would diluted lemon have the same effect as ACV?
Just did this two days ago for ny month ood dreads. I used coconut oil in place of the lavender(couldn't find any) but they feel and smeol fantastic now.
I've got _distilled white vinegar_ and _cleaning vinegar,_ but not ACV?? Will it make a big difference if substitute the ACV?
I'm bout to try it on 3m old ones.. Can't wait
Love the videos! So helpful!

Hey man. My dreads are 2 and a half year old but hair hasn't actually been cut; even trimmed, in about 6 years. I have never had a problem with itchy scalp nor dandruff but lately its been terrible to the point of thinking about cutting them all out. This is a great video and i'm gunna shoot on out buy some Apple cider vinegar and Rosemary oil today; already have the other stuff. If this works for me your going to be my new hero. I shall update later tonight. Subbed.
would you reccomend lavender jamaican black castor oil?
wicked smart idea with the skate board, when i do the deep clean i usually just bend over and dunk my head in the sink, skateboard definitely seems more comfortable
Will Acv, baking soda, a little bit if sea salt, and residue free shampoo that has tea oil and rosemary and peppermint in it be sufficient for a deep clean? Will it lighten the color of my hair?
how many times through out the year do you fink i should do this tp my dreads?
