Sour smell!

Dreads Hair and Scalp Health

never go to sleep with wet dreads sleeping on the wet hair the water gets trapped inside and has no way to dry out and the inside of the dread starts to mold! so even if you have to blow dry them dont sleep on wet dreads its a horrible idea i did that before the last time i had dreads and its really hard to get rid of the smell

ok so my scalp is really dry and flaky and im not sure if its because of the season changing or because of some other reason i was my hair 3 times a week on average and i do the bs acv wash one a week and the other two times i wash with dr. bronners and in sure that i get everything out each time i rinse so would anyone have any ideas as to why my scalp is still so dry?

thanks ~Elroy

so even with the bs acv wash once a week i still should not wash everyday is that what im getting from this? is it better to wash every other day and still do the bs acv wash once a week or is there some other method i should consider when washing?

i have to say the first 2 times i had dreads i only washed my hair like once every other week and it took awhile for it to knot up but this time i have been washing it everyday when i shower and once a week with the baking soda avc rinse and im less than 2 weeks in and my dreads already have started knotting up amazingly i love it!!
