I'm not sure how too calculate a 10/1 ratio... Like I literally don't know what that even means. lol... I suck with numbers, any way you could break that down with using one gallon of water?
I could have sworn I've seen on this site that the combination of baking and hard water could after a while leave a residue? Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I've always used a lot of baking soda, 2 1/2 size cup, throwing 3 scoops into a one gallon of water...
Hello everybody, been a while since I've been on the site. Dreads are doing great at about 1 year 6 months. Been doing the baking soda/ acv wash/rinse this whole time. I do have hard water, and knew the residue from the baking soda was going to happen, don't care too much really. But I've been doing it for so long now that the white in some of the dreads is pretty noticeable. I read somewhere on the site here that Dawn dish soap would work too get some of the residue out, now how would I use it is my question? Just lather it up and spread it all over my dreads? and if you have any other suggestions on a residue removing soap feel free to let me know. Thanks for any help?
I never back combed or tnr'd, and my hair is dreadlocking just fine. I'm 49 weeks in, and happier than ever that I went the all natural route.
Best option, leave it all alone. Just wash, and separate accordingly.. You don't need anything else.
Keep rockin it, I've been dreading naturally now for 10 months and have had a natural part down the middle the whole time. Not sure if it'll ever go away, but I don't mind it one bit. take a look at my pics if you'd like to see... its a perfect down the middle part. 
they're coming along great though so don't fret!
That actually made me laugh. They have really really deep issues. And I really feel bad for them. lmao
Looks like whatever gel or wax or whatever you have been putting in his hair to twist n lock it up began surfacing after you're bs/acv wash. Probably need the wax b gone or a really deep clean with dish soap or something... that doesn't look good.
Not that it matters or anything, but I thought you were black lmao. Anyways,do some reading around the site if you haven't already and take the plunge. I say do it at least before you cut ur long hair. I think everybody should have dreads at least once in their life.
I say don't do it Mel, but thats just me. Wish you luck with whatever you choose to do though.
