It depends on which method you have used to create your locks. If you are doing a neglect method, you need to keep your hair clean and regularly wash it using a residue-free shampoo.
If you are doing the back-combing method, you will not want to wash your locks for about a week to two weeks after backcombing your hair. After the first week or two, you will regularly wash your hair with a residue-free shampoo. Check out the links to buy some of this residue-free, all-natural shampoo.
As for a dread "perm" I have no idea, but whatever salon is giving you the dreadlock perm certainly should know the answer. don't wash it too much, and do it very delicately. try concentrating on the scalp, not on the hair... and in the bathtub it can be better than in the shower, that way you don't have the pressurised stream of water running down your hair.
No, but when you have dreadlocks it means you do not wash your hair
You can wash dreadlocks with any type of soap or shampoo, BUT residue-free shampoo is what you should be using.

Whenever they start to smell or itch.
Very tacky. A hairpiece from the beauty store is not that expensive. Yarn will be weird after you wash it.
They are called "dreadlocks" or "dreads", like dreadlocks on anyone are called.
You can but it wont look like dreads at first
the question is what does the holy spirit say to you about dreadlocks, not what does your yearn or desire say about dreadlocks?
They don't wash there hair because it takes the dread locks apart. The water sinks in then takes out all the material that holds the dreads together.
Yes, you can be born with dreadlocks.
No.. It would burn your hair because it's not smooth enough to straiten. Hair that is in dreadlocks is curled tightly, it can't be done. I don't even know why you would try.. If you wanted your hair strait why did you put them in dreadlocks in the first place.
