What do i do from here???

Hey everyone so im new to dreading but have thought about it for a long time and I decided to backcomb a couple random places in my hair but now I don't know where to go from here. ive been reading a lot of discussions but what do I do once I get new growth? I know I want to let the rest just kinda dread on its own. Would a shampoo from my local heath food store most likely be good to wash my hair with and wont disrupt the process? and do I blow dry my hair or let it air dry? What about the ends? someone give me the 101 please ! I kinda just jumped into it and tips/advice would be awesome!

The new hair growth will dread all by itself honestly, you don't have to do anything to it at all, before you know it, it'll be dreaded.

For a shampoo, make sure whatever it is, it isn't conditioning, and it doesn't leave any residue.

You can blow-dry or let it air-dry. I let mine air-dry most of the time, but if I want them to dry quicker I'll use the hairdryer out of convenience.

Anymore questions, feel free to ask

the dreaducatuom page is a good place to start but =uea just leave it alone and let it dread

thank yall .. I became a hoop dancer a year ago and that journey has led me to great places so im excited to see what this journey does.

I know backcombing isn't the best but I figure maybe it'll encourage the rest of my hair!

hooping will encourage it to dread
