Cant afford the postage for dreadshampoo.com to Australia 
Hi,
So i went and got crocheted before doing my research Only since finding these pages have i become aware of the mistake i've made. I thought i was doing the right thing by using no chemicals or wax. Anyway, My question now is what can i do to recover, or just do nothing ? Let them be and see what happens ? They are only a week old (see my pics) and have been washed once with Tea Tree shampoo, Is there a better shampoo that will help them lock up ? At the moment they are really soft and fluffy, frizzy with loose ends. Thanks in advance
Hello fellow dreaders,
I'm Tania, a 28 yo mum of 4 from Queensland Australia. So i got my dreads in on Sunday, Its now Thursday, I love them, but i didn't realise there was so much conflicting advice. Mine were made using the crochet method and a tiny bit of backcombing (i didn't lose much, if any, length) I have just been out and brought some tea tree shampoo, some salt and a spray bottle, now what ? When to wash for the first time ? I also went in the surf yesterday and now they are super fuzzy. Is there a place on here where we can keep a photo album and update progress ? Thanks in advance for your info and tips and i look forward to growing my locks with you
