Yeah I've read SE say in another thread that you have to do the bs first and then the acv..i guess its a good thing that the damage the soda does isn't so serious that its irrepairable (i know i spelled that completely wrong lol).
and i have to say i also love the way my hair feels after using baking soda, it feels like pure clean haha :D
oh i didnt know it fries the hair..i guess that explains the sizzling sound i was hearing for the first 5 minutes i had it sitting on my head :p
thanks, i guess i'll give it a try, theres nothing to lose 
my hair still feels good even without it though (i did the bs wash yesterday.)
I'll do just that after about a month or so..but i'll be using the bs wash until then. used it for the first time today and i gotta say it really does a great job :D
i currently live in greece, though I'm from newark, new jersey.
I just checked the differences out and it seems the red wine vinegar i have has a lower acidity than white and cider vinegars..so i guess it's not suitable 
Hmm looks like I wont be using acv either because its really hard to find apple cider vinegar over here, i only got some wine vinegar i think..unless somebody knows if its ok to use, i'm only doing the bs wash.
I'm planning to buy the liquid shampoo from dreadlockshampoo.com too but after about a month of only using baking soda.
I've took some pictures half an hour ago and after i took the pictures i used the sea salt spray..in 2 hours i'll do the bs wash. I'm about to upload the pictures on my profile for you to see what my hair looked like after 1 week from the day i did TnR.
Yeah you're right I prefer them looking loose but natural instead of sticking straight up like coolio's hair..so the best thing i can do is give them time to tighten up
I also read around the forum and I see now how the acv is needed to restore the ph..so i guess i'll be using it too.
yup i try not to mess with them too much..
i've read about the 2 weeks thing on knottyboy i think, but judging by the way my hair looks right now, i dont think i'm going to wait 2 weeks.
i'll try using paypal thanks..just a question, do i need to do acv rinse after bs or can i just use water without having my hair dry up to an unhealthy level?
Hey guys. First post here, really glad to be part of your community
So I've been reading these forums for about a month now, and I finally sat and did TnR on all of my hair. Now I have pretty short hair, not longer than 3 inches, maybe a little shorter, but my dreads came out looking pretty good! My hair is really weird, it's not curly, but every hair points to a different direction haha. It's kinda hard to explain but so far it does a good job I think.
So I wanted to go as natural as possible (couldn't go neglect though, because it would take forever to dread with 3 inches of hair haha), so I didn't mess with it at all so far. But now it's starting to get greasy, and even though I was originally planning on washing 2 weeks after TnRing, but it looks like I may wash earlier.
Now it's really hard to find no residue shampoos where I live, and I don't have a credit card so I can't get any online So my plan was to spray with salt water 2 hours before washing, and then just rinsing, not using any shampoo whatsoever. But then again I think my hair would get dirty with time. Do you guys think I should do the BS wash? or maybe you have a good brand of shampoo I could use? (It has to be an international brand).
Also, for the first 6 days I didn't mess with my hair at all but today when I woke up it was looking messy and loose, so I did some quick palm rolling (not on every dread, just a few every here and there to make them look more polished).
I will also try and post a picture one of these days Maybe I'll start a timeline too, why not haha
P.S. Sorry for the long post, I'm feeling talkative for some reason :p
