Strange grease?

well hello

Soo I'm really new at this and I was just wondering if having greasy roots is normal? Before I started dreading I washed my hair everyday and combed it obviously so I never noticed if my hair is really prone to getting greasy quick. I do the baking soda wash alternating with an organic residue free shampoo every 3ish days. The grease isn'tbothering me I was just wondering if thats normal, I'm just simply not used to it. Maybe I'm not letting the baking soda soak long enough? Or letting the shampoo get to the bottom layers of my hair? I'd love to hear from any one with input I'm sure I'm just being ridiculous haha

Have a beautiful day!

hard water

;/ bronners will not work in hard water it will leave a sticky mess

try baking soda or www.dreadlockshampoo.com

bronners is great unless you git hard water and 85% of the country i think does

also bronners in the best water should br =e diluted 12 times more water then soap

I wash every 2-3 days with bs/acv and I notice my roots feel greasy too, even if I've just recently washed. I've been doing that washing cycle for almost 2 months now, so you'd think my scalp would be adjusted by now! :P It hasn't seemed to hinder the dreads so I don't think it's anything to worry about. :)

When using baking soda you have to rinse very well to get all the dead skin out.

It works best with a high water pressure. Dead skin feels greesy and looks kind of white.

Check the sink after your wash. In my sink there is always that white creemy greesy stuff after

the rinse.
