I'm Confused?

Introduce Yourself

no i didn't do any acv because my hair is naturally pretty oily on its own, and we do have pretty bad hard water where we live. well i've decided that the next time i do this i'm going to go completely natural instead of twist and rip because i noticed that even though i thought my ends weren't dreaded they actually were and they had some curl too them as well! so my theory is if i do all natural my dreads may actually come out with a bit of a curl in them! i'm even more excited to start them now

I'm Confused?

Introduce Yourself

Today was a very sad and long day for me. After having my dreads for a full month I was forced to comb them out because of a lead role that I got in the play Proof. So in the process of taking out my dreads i noticed that my hair was ungodly oily and dirty. The comb i was using had gunk built up in the teeth and it was rather gross. So now i'm wondering what went wrong while i was washing them any suggestions?

I used the baking soda solution with a prerinse of sea salt water.

NEW SOAP!?

Dread Maintenance

well i tried it last night and it works pretty well it has some lather to it but its relatively easy to rinse out and my hair feels just as clean as it did with the baking soda... i still used my sea salt spray before and i think its about the same result. I think my dreads actually feel a bit softer always a plus

NEW SOAP!?

Dread Maintenance

i'll give it a test run i guess and let you guys know what i think about it. this company has quite a few soaps like this from india and all the proceeds go to third world countries in need. so its at least worth it

NEW SOAP!?

Dread Maintenance

K so i resently bought a new bar of soap that i had intended to use on my body but now i'm wondering if maybe i can't just use it all over, dreads and body. its a lavender vegetable soap made in india and here is the list of ingredients:

Hydrogenated rice bran wax

Palm oil

Coconut oil

Water

Coconut stearic acid

Glycerin

Perfume

Citric acid

Sodium Chloride

Sodum Hydroxide

Zinc oxide

let me know what you guys think of it

Thanks

Hello and Good Day to all of you

Introduce Yourself

introductions! hello dready world my name is hayat dominguez. i'm a sophmore in college working on my major in theatre. i act i work lights i work sound i build stuff and i enjoy every minute of it! i just started dreading my hair and i've had it completely done about a week now. the methods i use are twist and rip which i know just doesn't sound good at all it doesn't sound good when you rip anything but i have to say i'm relatively happy with the way they turned out. i shampoo them with a baking soda mixture and then a sea salt spray...love it!!! I must say i'm having some difficulty with some of my smaller dreads coming completely undone though...

Dreadlocks Journey Emotional Support

I love this its really inspiring. I've always been so nit picky with my hair. making sure that each hair is perfectly placed but more lately i've just felt like i need to let my hair down so although i was going to do my dreads naturally i wasn't that patient so i dreaded my hair yesterday afternoon and i'm already in love and i can't wait to see them progress and do their "thang" thanks for your inspiring forum.
