I'm in a band and those are the masks we wear onstage. This was just the most easily accessable picture on my computer.

Shampoo ok for 2 month dreads?

Dread Maintenance

I use tea tree and rosemary oil in both my BS wash and my ACV rinse, I still get dry flaky spots in my scalp even after almost a year of this. I just consider it a natural part of what my body does since it happened before I had dreads as well. Some people just have dry scalps, either way, if you continue to wash with the BS and ACV the "flakes" will dissolve and not be seen stuck in the dread.

that sounds a little too close to crocheting to me. The last thing that I want to do is to poke a hole in my dreads.

Yeah, I don't necessarily want them to become new dreads, I just want them to join in with the closest corresponding dread. I thought that doing this might help the loose hair to join the dread. I saw a guy with long ass natural dreads do it on youtube. I figured I would try it. But so far all it does is tidy them up for the time being, they don't stay.

So I've had my dreads now for about 2 and 1/2 months now. I did them using the TnR method and they are dreading very nicely. I wash them once or twice a week with Baking Soda and ACV Rinse, I also use Tea Tree oil from time to time when I wash it. So far so good. But I have a TON of loose hairs. The ones that are actually coming loose from the dread itself don't bother me too much because it's more frizzy and tends to go away and come back, I know that's just part of the process. The undreaded hair at the scalp doesn't bother me either because I don't like that fake sectioned dread look with bald spots between the dreads, looking like the dreads actually grow out of your scalp dreaded. However this mess of loose hairs at the scalp going every which way tends to get annoying. I've been taking the loose hairs and and wrapping them around the closest dread, being careful not to grab hairs from neighboring dreads.This helpskeep them lookingtidy until I wash them again, then I have a crazy loose mess all over again.Is this a good thing or a bad thing to be doing?
