Good day everyone,
I really want to grow dreadlocks, my hair is approximately 5-6 inches long, soft and thin, a bit curly also. For the past several days I decided that I will try to forget about my hair, no more shampoos and combings, do the organic method. On the third day, my scalp felt itchy and oily so I decided to wash my hair using the baking soda method, did the ratio I've read on this site, to tell you the truth I felt so fresh and clean and the itchiness is gone.
What bothers me is that my hair become somewhat wet-looking and shiny which I don't really like. Also my hair felt slimy while I was rinsing my hair after the baking soda wash. Are these normal??
Few more questions from me. Is it OK to not wet my hair when I'm doing my usual everyday showers? After a few days of neglect I started to notice the natural separation of my hair which I really enjoy waking up to every morning. I know dreadlocks is all about patience but I need to know the ideal hair length for them to start dreading.
