Can Dreadlocks Grow Mold?
affectionately known as 'dread rot'. It might only be noticeable after you've washed your dreads, but any mildew or mould type smell you can sense, is likely to be mould in your dreads. If you haven't been doing so before, from now on, make sure that you are using a residue-free shampoo to clean your dreads.
