I’ve been on the hunt for the best dreadlock shampoo bar available in the USA, and I could use some advice from those who’ve already found their go-to brand. I want something that cleanses well without leaving residue, as buildup is a big issue for me. I also prefer a shampoo that’s made with natural ingredients, free of sulfates, and ideally one that helps maintain a fresh, clean feel without drying out my hair too much. There are so many options out there to shop now like Lion Locs and a bunch of small-batch brands but I’m not sure which one works best in the long run.

So, for those of you with experience, which dreadlock shampoo bar do you swear by? What are the pros and cons of the brand you use? Have you noticed any difference in residue buildup, scalp health, or the overall feel of your locks? Also, if you’ve tried multiple brands, which one do you think gives the best balance between deep cleaning and moisture retention?
