Starting to dread

Hi, I have just started (4-5 days) growing dreadlocks. I want to get rid of dandruff. I washed my hair with baking soda. But it didn't help. I also apply aloe vera on my hair. Is it wise to use aloe vera at this stage?

Thanks!

Hey, welcome!have you tried rinsing with apple cider vinegar after the baking soda? That should help to stop your scalp from getting too dry, there is a recipe on the site somewhere but im unsure of exactly where I usually just ad a cap ful to about 1 litre of cold water (cold water is better than hot for stopping dandruff too). And adding a few drops of tea tree essential oil to the bakinh soda is good for dandruff issues aswell. And aloe is a conditioner so will slow down the dreading process a LOT. Good luck and I hope that helpspeace

yea skip the aloe tho if youir black it will be good to moisturize with it otherwise dont use it
