Hi all! So i just picked up online aleppo soap basicaly to wash my face. It is claimed to be good for washing face,body,hair,clothes.......everything lol.BUT ..Does anybody have experience with using it on dreads?
Yeah i know about the sun effect but It is freaking cold for months here where i live.weird

My hair does the same thing during the summer months when I am outdoor in the sun a lot. It is a bleaching effect caused by the sun and it tends to do it even more if I am in /out of the water a lot.
Hey guys! Ive my dreads for about 10 months now and i love them.They are only on the back of my head with combination to my regular hair. My natural hair colour is light brown but my dreads got lighter every month. I wash with baking soda/acv/oils.It feels healthy no itching,dry skin etc. Why is this happening??:) 
123.......i want many of them so i made them thin.i dig the number sounds great heh and drying is faaaast:)
getting knotty i guess you are excited as progress is now a little more obvious.one would say 15 months is plenty of time to have maturing locks.thats the beauty of dreads.individuality:).oh and i like that puffy look:D
i wouldnt compare these two stages because it was two different types (texture,look,feel etc) but yeah at 8months+- they were extra loose.at 6 months they were pretty much healthy for me.sure actual dreading of whole body took longer but at 6 months i would say most of the crochet signs were gone.check out my photos here is you are interested SE

wow so u experienced the loosest at 8-9 months instead of 1-3
and toolk almost a year to see most signs of crochet gone?
I crocheted them only once at the time they were born.Left damage wasnt so bad beacuse i had short hair like 2 inches after actual dreads. First 2 weeks were really awkward sore,itchy,stiff,sticking out damn you antennas:D
1 month still hard but felt better
2 months to 4 monts getting loose
5 months beginning of all amazing things at the roots (loops,zig zags)..2 inches of crocheted part still kind of stiff but only a little.Started locking here and there
6 months my favourite stage.initial recovery.stiff is gone.they looked not like dreads nor regular hair.loved that.
7 months started to tightening againg.only about half of my sections were locked at the roots.
8 months completely different look.soooo lose.roots are ok but tips are unraveling.I was like where is my progress gone??Worst mess that i have experienced
9 months tightening again
10 -11 months (current stage) everything is locked and tight.on few dreads you can still see the crochet part because its cylinder thing and my natural growth is squiggle and flat.
ok thats it.lets see what future brings.happy recovery!:)
i have dreads only at the back of my head.they are extra thin so it is 123.i really like that number although it is only temporary as there is bunch of loose hairs which i guess will dread one day.
as always i do things by my own.crochet them only once for starting point although it damage your hair and i knew it hahaa.not using acv.washing with BS and oils everyday.my hair/scalp seems fine.thanks SE for baking soda thing.love it!
