May I also add to this: does anyone know where to buy proper dreadwax - i.e. wax with no petroleum in it for the dreading of one's locks?

I was looking for the same and bought a German brand Osis which is a "fibre gum" (it says on the tin "strong texture control, shine and separation") at my hairdressers. I think any salon will sell hair wax or something like this fibre gum. Mine was a 100ml tin for 160,000 dong.

I'm no help for hair wax but regarding bike lights I got some reasonable lights in Ba Trieu St. Opposite the Western Canned Foods shop. There's a line of bike shops but in the middle (I think it's No53C) there's a guy who speaks reasonably good english and has always been very helpful to me. I got clip-on LED front and back lights (with optional flashing mode). Quite cheap and reliable so far. Cheers

Ok, guy, this is the address you need . The shop called Hanh Thom on Lang Ha street. Basically as you go toward Giang Vo, you will see it on your left with the name of the shop Hanh Thom cosmestic.

They have everything you want. I got all my cosmestic stuffs that i cant seem to buy elsewhere here.

I'll try to get the actual address within next week for you lots.
Hope this help a bit!
