Yes. Keeping hair clean is an essential part of the dreadlocking process. Grease and oil that is naturally produced in hair will significantly slow down the locking process, and so dreadlocks must be regularly washed like normal hair. However, only special residue-free shampoos should be used on dreadlocks, as normal shampoos contain residues and scents that hinder he locking process.
many prefer a baking soda deep cleanse over soap. (see links)
hair knots the most right after being washed. conditioners are only used when locks are too dry.

Are dreads gross?
Like any hair style, it depends how well they are taken care of. There is a popular myth that people who wear dreads don't wash their hair, when, in fact, in order to maintain dreadlocks properly, you're actually required to wash them. Most people with dreadlocks do find that they don't have to wash their hair quite as often as people without, because the act of brushing one's hair releases oils from their scalp, making their hair greasy. However, they generally have to wash their hair a couple times a week to keep it from getting dirty. It also depends on how the reds are formed. For instance, dreads started with dread wax or dread kits can get dirt and water trapped in wax and become moldy. Dreads normally formed naturally are clean in fact, but in an attempt to profit from dreading, salons and "dread companies" push methods and products that do make unhealthy dreads.
Is dreads dirty?
No!! It is a common misconception that dreads should not be washed. The exact opposite is true. Washing your dreads keeps them clean and smelling good as they should be! Many people use a baking soda wash as it is gentle on the hair and removes residue, something you DON'T want in your dreads.

Wash your hair, keep it clean and it will dread over time. A lot of people dont have the patients for organic dreads. So you'll get some people telling you you should twist your hair.

Enjoy your journey Bless up.
