Hi,

I’m not really sure what you mean by “bugs”..do you mean lice? Actual bugs? Or knots?..if you mean lice, I don’t think your race or ethnicity would make much difference. As long as your clean dreads, you’ll be fine..my boyfriend had dreads for almost a year. It’s a myth that they are dirty. What you do is after you dread your hair, you don’t wash it for 2 weeks. You still shower, just put your hair in a cap. This is the “dirtiest” you’ll get. After that point, wash your hair with a shampoo bar, and not conditioner. That will break up the knots.

Good luck..
