Dread Maintenance
Detox, Vicki ( www.dreadlockshampoo.com ) has a charcoal based one that is not on the site you have to special request. It actually will remove Lint as well.

That was actually one of my questions over there that never got answered! I have always hated having thin hair, so I was thinking I should keep them separate as they form, keeping em small and hopefully eventually creating a thicker looking head of dreads? I really don't know how that will work. Any advice on how to do that?
I am also seeing some stuff online about tugging at the roots. I am thinking I need to keep the first few inches of hair un-locked to prevent that? It seems to be naturally happening, but we've just gotten started so I have no idea what shape they might take. I also am wondering if I should/could keep my front sections of my hair free?
I am having a hard time finding reference pictures of what my straight hair might look like with the free form method. Do you think this picture I found could be close? Is this picture a representation of freeform or something else? I actually like how these look very much, but of course will be happy with whatever my hair decides to do.

Hi CloverQu... greetings from England's windswept shores..
I've found my dreads have quite a mind of their own; and some have turned out real thick and lumpy with thick ends, while others are thin and pointy at the end.. I've got used to just accepting they will do as they please and do accept some taming in the form of a wash every 4-6 days and separating most days as required.
Hopefully glance at my pics might give you an idea. I can't guarantee how yours will develop but recon thin hair may be a bit less unruly than mine (I could be corrected)..
Anywho... hope that helps and encourages you to enjoy the ride
I reckon Vickys got a shampoo for that! her shampoos are residue free too.. What shampoo are you using at the moment?
Hi Guys any advice
on how to permanently get rid of shampoo residue,
Out in the middle of the national forest every year at rainbow gatherings at least 200 people tell me this site is why they started dreading right
I'm happy to see that the site is still here and that you are doing well, soaring-eagle!
I remember browsing the forums for the first time in 2013 and really enjoyed the community, information, and encouragement. I would say, I've done more of my education and sharing with others in person as I get stopped in the store or while out hiking. Thank you, as always for keeping this great resource available for others! 🕊
hi all 2 questions.
any reccomendations on a deep wash?
also do you reccomend using any oil on locks?
Not bad, nothing wrong with semi freeform either, it’s that detestation from maintaining that causes the real harm
I just wanted to share a bit of my journey with you guys. I started my journey in January 2022 doing freeform method. My wife was not a fan of the look and I also agreed with her assessment. My wife helped me restart in July 2022 with comb coils. I'm 7 months in and couldn't be happier with the progress.
its ok, i was diluting it in water and using it.
cold water washes,
how did you start your journey? and hows it going?
Sorry Mick I just got notified you responded. I started with coils. It's been about 7 months and so far it's going pretty well. Hair has gotten unruly at times but so far it's been a pleasurable journey
