    ALo, I think tea tree smells nice, but peppermint is way awesome too! Get the big bottle and dilute it or don't, either way it lasts a long time because you should really only wash once a week for the first month. throw all your hair up in a wool hat. and i say wool because it makes your hair knottier somehow(myth?), but a hemp tam worked for me. Don't run your fingers through your hair when you wash, just lather the scalp and rinse.

    That's my experience with clean natural dreads, but have you thought about backcombing? Where are you from ALo?

    If you are going natural it doesnt matter how often you wash as there are no backcombed bits to fall out. Clean hair knotts faster than oily hair.
