I remember watching a film of African tribes when I was a child. I think it was an aunt who made the comment how beautiful all the gemstones in their hair looked. The narrator then said their heads were covered with dung and the "gems" were actually flies. I found that both enlightening and repulsive.

If you have mold in your dreadlocks, the safest way to eliminate it for everyone is to have your friends bury you alive in the woods.

Baking soda work much better than clarifying shampoo, and it's a whole lot cheaper too. Work the baking soda into your roots, then rinse with apple cider vinegar/essential oils over ALL of your hair. Then wait roughly a day for it to dry.
All you loose hairs can enjoy having your boring hairstyles blow away in the wind and be flattened by the rain, I guess. Nobody's looking at your hair anyway.

I think a link titled "How Much Bleach Should Be Used to Kill Mold?" should not be on a page about mold in your dreadlocks. Or anywhere within a few clicks, for that matter.
After that, the diminished attention span would be protective.

Every human is covered with fungus and bacteria, which only become an inconvenience when their ecology is altered in a way that lets them explode. All the commenters here are covered with fungus and bacteria. In fact, to make it so you weren't covered with fungus and bacteria, you would have to physically damage yourself. Get off your prissy high horses people!

@7 All true, but I think I'll continue to wipe my ass after I shit and maintain my body in a manner that facilities washing it on a regular basis.

@7: Oh good, we've got ourselves one'a them "i don't need to bathe and my girlfriend tells me how great i smell and my coat is glossy" nutjobs in the thread.

@5, I may be a boring old "loose hair" but at least I am not a cultural tourist who doesn't know who he is.

@15 and @12. Bathing is good, as is good hygiene in general. Good hygiene is healthy for the individual and is one of the foundations of good public health (along with clean water supplies, functional sewage systems, etc.). However, you can bathe all you want, but you won't get rid of all the fungus and bacteria that live on your body, except for some small window of time after your scald yourself with hot bleach. This is just a fact of nature. Your body inside and out is rife with organisms that evolved with modern humans. For the most part, they don't hurt us, and in many cases they help us. Over the top efforts to kill everything leads to organisms that resist both immune system defenses and medical defenses.
