extremely new dreads. (washing methods, little queries, etc.)

what's the purpose of sea salt spray/rinse and how often or how far(most often) should one do it?

another is that, should i blow my hair dry or just towel dry? thanks in advance. thanks for all the help. much love everybody.

 

Sea salt helps tighten dreads, if you have seen people's dreadies who live near the ocean compared to those who don't you will see a difference. Sea salt also is antibacterial. Lemon juice works the same, but will lighten your hair over time. I personally think salt is just good energy, but that's beyond it's practical reasons.

I always towel dried, my boyfriend had to blow dry occasionally when he had them because his would not dry for days.

If it is warm, you could let it dry in the sun. yay vit d. Just don't go and get skin cancer, ya hear?

 

so, you are telling me that sea salt spray is very essential, just to rapid things up, how often at maximum can one apply sea salt sprays?

 

Just three months in and he had bugs? Damn, what a way to start. Anyway, some very good advice in here, I'll be sure to check back if I happen to get lice.

 

dude, i did a little research and now i know. louse has nothing to do with anything, poor hygiene, unable to wash one's hair, extreme heat, the only factor known especially in the science is that, "one should be physically exposed to an infected person to get it". so having it cannot really be controlled actually..

and here is the exact same note which got me really enlightened.

"lice is not attracted with anything, just the blood from the scalp."

anyway, i think tea tree has some elements which repels louse. haha. but all in all, thats just about the truth.



and yeah,

back to my last query, to hasten the locking process(i guess), how often can one apply sea salt spray? i'm like, addicted to the state of the hair when sprayed with it plus it gives me the idea that it would lock up faster(correct me if im wrong). thanksie thanks.
