No, sorry. You can use it to get your hair to clump and look like dreads, but true dreads result only when your hair locks. Then again, if you want to start the process, use twisting wax. Or beeswax. Just go to a hair supply store (like sally's) and they should have something like that in the black hair care aisle.

Can you use bar soap as a shampoo substitute for soft dreadlocks?
Extremely soft dreads are easy without a bar soap, using baking soda and herbs for wash and vinegar and herbs as a rinse. (See links).Bar soaps which are good for dreads include any all-natural soaps without residue; however, products containing SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) or SLES (sodium laureth sulfate) are not recommended.Baking soda works better then any soap, though.if you mean bar soap like dove the answer is yes and no..you can use any soap, but it is not best tothe reason being most soaps leave residue, soap scum, this builds up in dreads and is hard to removeyoung dreads this will slow even prevent dreading, but mature dreads are able to not be harmed except for the buildup of scum.incidentally, this is the reason dread wax never made sense. dread wax is residue that never comes out of dreads and is water proof.residues and dreads are not a good combinationif its a specific type of bar soap, post the ingredients in the products forum (adding new links to products, and the wax issue)the rule of thumb is..use as natural as can be, with the least residuesthe baking soda cleans twice as good as any soap though

No. Dreadlocks are like little sponges and they absorb everything you put in them.

There will always be some residue somewhere inside the dread. That is why you want to use products that are as natural as possible on them. also this is why dread wax makes no sense at all.
