I'm nervous about starting my journey again.
Introduce Yourself
I'm currently in high school and i did the twist n rip method. You WILL get lots of attention in school.many people stare at me and ask how i made them, or touch em. My friends love it and many people think they look awesome, even teachers o:
the reaction from others will vary, girls tell me they wouldn't be able to stand it. I get offended a few times, and get asked about dread rumors, its so annoying but just ignore that as long as you like em :D
Oh and i miss my hair too /: but oh well, i want dreads n.n
washing dreads everyday

Thank you and apparently i have hard water 
I'll just stop using the knotty shampoo and use regular shampoo
washing dreads everyday
Dread Maintenance
So I've been washing my hair every other day. My dreads are probably about a month old. Apparently I should wash them at least once a week???I want to go longer without washing but i can't stand it!!! MY head itches, I'm starting to get a bit of dandruff and that's because i go with every other day. I just feel like washing my head every day! what ends up happening if i do that though?
If i start expanding the days without washing how should I do it?
like, every other day one week, every 2 days another week? I want to know a pattern to follow..
Oh and i use the knotty boys shampoo but i want to switch
can i have some shampoo examples i could use??
even if theyre not specially made for dreads, just any shampoo
sorry for all the questions btw o:
