I'd say a little more baking soda in the mix, I do 1 c. to a gallon. You can get really nice tams from the home grown project (one of the shops in the shops section of the site) I bought one and they do custom made home made ones. So beautiful.
Just wash, separate and be patient. 4 months is a little slow but you'll get there.

Wind at anytime is going to be good. If you are out skating rinse your hair with plain water after you are done.

thanks for your story it helped i could deffinitly use your advice to find solitued getting out of here alone brings me sanity, library and bible would do me peace, i have cerebral palsy and public school gave me anxiety after teasing so social places were hard but i've had to overcome it to call attorneys lawers ect on my own speaking for myself and my mom and i've had way less anxiety lately, i'll deffinitly get out more often. god bless, peace.

Hi Colbi, that is a big load for anyone to carry. I'm glad you shared here. I hope things work out for you and your family.
It breaks my heart when I hear about situations like yours.
I had a very turbulent upbring also, different situation than yours but very emotionally damaging. I was afraid a lot and felt really lonely.
I found solace in the library. I would go often until I moved out of home at 14 years old.
It is hard to stay sane but you can do it.
It's good to share your thoughts about what is happening and if you want to talk in person rather than online there is kids help phone, some one is always on the line ready to listen.
Much love and light your little one.

4-5 months been not touching/ combing and once a week i wash with 1 gallon water 1/4th cup baking soda, I also am addicted to wearing a hat, sense i was 12 i have had a backwards cap on ;/ anyways i sometimes wake up and or after washing i have big clumps of hair or small, maybe im mistaking these for early incoming dreads, but once i go to bed, or ride a skateboard or even go in the wind they seperate, are dreadlocks ( natural ) all knott's, maybe i just am mistaking? also i wear a hat, should i stop, and how how would you keep hair out of your face? my hairs past my shoulders. ill post pics if i ever get a phone, i was taken away from my great perfect mother cause my drugy dad kept calling DHS and making storys that they now see are way untrue and they made a mistake now my bro and sis and i are fending for ourselfs, in 3 months he hasnt had a job, just the fake one he tells them, anyways lol.wind/skating good or bad for early dreads? id think ited tangle more, which makes me think these groups of hair may not be early dreads sense they come undone easily, hope this is all understandable, weird keyboard not my computer and had a time limit to be on it so had to go fast ;/ thanks peace

congo dreadlocks congos

Dreadlock Styles and Dread Styling

Yeah i really love congos, ill have alot of them i bet. The idea of beading 2 dreads to congo is cool and i guess kinda natural, just putting them together isnt. Im gana just do very low maintenance just seperate ones that will be way to big, well see what they decide to do

What method of dreading is this?

Dreading Methods

I cant let Natural shape my dreads if they have been pre shaped, And i don't get the patience lesion, I am living as i want, with earth and jah, I am not combing, TnR, Or even separating, So maybe in 40 years, when my lets say, 30 dreads become, 4-8 or so, They will tell a story, of how i got there, who i am, And what i am about, Anyone can twist hair and make dreads, But they will never get that satisfaction connecting them to mother earth, And if i had 40 yr old TnR's id be saying DAMN i wish i would have been patient as a child, And went natural.

is you guys cant tell if its natural or tnr then that means natural isn't that much better b/c you cant tell the difference rite?
im not trying to start and argument or anything just sayin tnr and natural are pretty uch the same arnt they?

lice a dreadlocks worse nightmare

Dread Maintenance

cutting off a 20 yr old dread would be the worst thing eveR! lol brooke blinebry said:

that sucks man!! I would cut off one of your dreads and see if they have made it on the inside yet...cause if they are there the NITS can survive anything...hopefully you all have caught it soon enough. I have battled this before (many times) and last year when my 6 year old brought them home from school I caught them fast enough not to get infested...just be sure you clesn your whole house anything you cant wash has to be put in garbage bags for at least a week! Ill keep asking around for more ideas.
