The only thing bad about them being curly are the ones that really curl up like a spiral .....because then If I am trying to tame them down a bit I have those that stick straight out at the sides I guess that gives them a little personality Sister Rags said: I left a comment for you on your page...your curliesdreadies are adorable : )
peace out
I can't understand why, but twist & rip has not worked for me unless I put a bead on to hold the t&r. T&r Works just like back-combing does for me...I think the hair is "really" locked, but it doesn't stay locked.
really simple you twist your hair (I did about three twists and then ripped) and then you take the end and pull it apart and that pulls up the knot and you just keep repeating the same process Jaquerian McCain said: What are twist and rip? What exactly is that?

Even so, I'll respond to your queries, Grey. I find Dr. B's works best for encouraging locking. I don;t notice that it leaves a residue on my hair...maybe because I do dilute it with A LOT of water...???
I like the baking soda/acv; I have, however, found that the baking soda tends to soften and straighten my hair. What I'm really confused about is the acv. I love using the stuff as a rinse, but others seem to find it conditioning. When I use acv, it seems to make my hair dry, not conditioned....acts like an astringent on my hair. In fact, I've been putting a few drops of hemp oil (or olive oil) into the acv rinse (and a lot of water) to soften my hair some.
I'm sorry because I don't think my info here is very helpful, but I guess I can back up your observance that baking soda does seem to soften my hair.

But no one has said anything about my hair...
Although I do get that remark, "how old are you?" 20..."oh...you don't look it."
I never got that comment when I had a shaved head. =\
