Sweet, thanks for the good information, thats why I love this site.
@Baba Fats: The technique used, as far as I was told... He sectioned my hair in three different tiers, then he used a metal comb to back-comb towards my scalp then took the back-combed hair and knotted it around itself(i assume) near the scalp of my head. haha, I had the side show Bob look for a while. and then he just repeated process down the length of my hair (which was about 8 inches long at that time. One month later we did what he called a "re-tightening" session and we were gonna do one every month for 6 months but then he started dodging me. Im not sure what "flipped roots" are but looking at it you cant really see where the knots are but it is like you said, from the roots down is pretty much straight hair. The dreads near the back of my neck feel like they have actually dreaded and I assume it's b/c I work outside and sweat a lot.
@Jason: I'm seeing now I didn't need his help but when I started I felt so lost and he had had dreads before so I assumed all would be well. I havent washed my head in the 4 months I've been doing this so i know I don't have any unwanted residues from conventional shampoos. But I was planning on starting to to do the BS and water wash very soon. I live in a downtown area so all I have is hard-water... is the BS wash still gonna be effective with hard water? and I dunno what AV stands for, sorry haha. Thanks again you guys for the hospitality
