Well, Today is the day i start the journey to dreads... i browsed on here and found the mainly used soap is Dr Bronner... Got some of that... That all i need to do is wash my hair with that and let my hair go and eventually ill have some amazing locks? thanks everyone... you guys/gals all seem nice.
Pleaseeee make sure to dilute it 1/16 is best. I don't use Dr. Bronners anymore, even though it's rumored to be residue free, it's not. It's all residue, and that's why it needs to be diluted. Right now I clean my hair with baking soda, vinegar and salt water and it works great, it cut's oil and dirt, and it puts my hair in great condition to lock.
if your hairs oily dr b might need lil extras somethung to help adding baking soda would do it but some1 else just suggested thyme too u may need t exeriment whith whats best for yoyr hair n scalp dr b works for most (whoever said its all residue must gave soft water) i tend to change my routine based in the condition of the haitr that week i mught add stiff or not use dr b use baking soda sometimesthe baking soda made it too fizzy so id use dr b if dr i add vinagar experimenting will help u find whats right for u but foe mist dr b is a good start
Alright thanks ill just have to try it tomorrow morning an see how it goes... my hair is really tangley to begin with... i use to use head n shoulders an i remember someone spending bout an hour combin all the knots outta my hair. So i hope this will speed the process up... back then i didnt realize that was dreadlocks starting to form.
Another question.... Im doing it the all natural way, just letting my hair growing into locks without backcombing or anything like that.... startin out how often should i wash my hair? just like i normally do until some knots start formin?
Alright ill try doin that unless it gets all greasy... I have a hard time with wood getting into my hair though... cause i work in a lumber factory all day. I even wear a bandana but it still gets in there.
get a tam naybe but well i drag mine throiugh the woods thriugh mud sticklers leaves pine needles u nwasme it ..if it gets in there and y u dint get it out it wint hurt ya none u shuld try to keeop it oiut so your dreads dint give u splinters..lol byt iuf a chunks swallows its no big deal
lol, Ill just stop worryin bout gettin woodchips in there then an get it out after work... didnt know if it'd effect anything or not.
