My 11 month old dreads

General Talk

Merry Meet to all,

I couldn't wait til next month to show off my beloved dreads!

July 6th. we will have been a together for a full year & believe me when I say we've had our ups & downs- those dreaded fuzzy days when they decided to go wild & free, not behaving in the least!

Having dreads has taught me to slow down & have patience, no matter how much you try you just can't make natural dreadlocks dread any faster than they want! LOL

I also want to thank Soaring Eagle & the other members here for making this forum available to all of us dreadies, without this friendly & warm nest I would have done all the wrong methods to my hair & thus not had this wonderful journey I've had & will continue to have throughout my dreadlock years. AND not to forget healthy hair!

Blessed Be friends.

General Questions

Thanks so much Brandi for the help.

I'm going to stop doing the BS rinse & just shampoo.

Have a great day!

6 month old dreads...

General Questions

I've got a lot of hair that isn't dreading, I understand that not everyone dreads the same, and my dreads have undreaded hair ts the ends.

I wash my hair with the natural dreadlocks shampoo once a week & do the BS ACV rinse every two days, should I shampoo more often & do the BS ACV less?

I also have hard water & the BS doesn't dissolve in the water every well, could this be a problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Tight Bun Needed for Job

General Questions

I work outside in the summer & have to keep my dreads up, I've only been dreading for about 3 months.

I use one of those big claw type hair clips to keep my dreads/hair up off my neck & out of my face. Maybe you could use one of these clips, they keep your hair up but aren't as tight as a bun. I do have to separate my dreads every night.

Hope this helps.

Question about unruly baby locks & stray hairs

Dread Maintenance

My hair tends to be soft, silkie & straight even though its thick, it wasn't dreading when I was doing an avc rinse after & thats why I've been skipping the avc rinse.

Can I do an acv rinse just once or twice a week or should I do it after every BS rinse since I just have baby dreads?

Thank you for your help Soaring Eagle

Blessings

Question about unruly baby locks & stray hairs

Dread Maintenance

Greetings all,

I work outside most days & have to have my hair pulled back & up, basically out of my face & out of the way.

My dreads are just over a month old & dreading like crazy! This is where the problem starts... most of the stray hairs are grabbing onto the existing dreads & making one huge mess, I'm afraid of congos.

I do the BS rinse every 3 days & wash with shampoo once a week, this is when I separate the dreads because its much easier when my hair is wet. Hurts like hell trying to separate.

Question... should I do an ACV rinse after the BS ? Should I just wet my hair everyday to separate or would this be to much on the baby dreads?

Appreciate any help.

Blessing, Moon Raven.
