My son has very long dreads and every time he washes his hair they smell very bad. What can he shampoo them with?

In the first place if a person has dreadlocks they should learn to take care of them on their own and not rely on mother or girlfriend. Second, a trip to the beauty shop once a month (aside from frequent washings at home) is a must. Then, use a shampoo especially for the locks. If using chorine bleach, the vinegar rinse should take place after because vinegar nutralizes bleach. Also don't use dish towels for anything but dishes.
