Is it still fine to use an ACV rinse after the baking soda cleanse on new dreads?

soaring eagle: since i joined the site I have been washing my hair with backing soda at least once a week. The problem I am faced with I feel many of my dreads are still pretty "wavy" and I'd like them to get nice and knotty like some I have. How do you recommend I go about doing this? Thanks for the info!

well looks like its strickly for africa n haitr type and they sell wax  any site that says wax should be used in dreads  i wouldnt trust they also recomend retwisting wich leads to balding so it looks like just any other dread products scam but with as natural twist..so a knottybot=y not a dreadheadhq knottyboys more natural yet sr=till ruins dreads dreadheadhq is toxic garbage

now yea naturals h better appeals to the natueraklness in you but waxres and crap still ruin locks ..so wouldnyt risk it

How do you know when you've thoroughly washed out the baking soda? If it's not rinsed out enough does it leave residue? One time I did the rinse and then washed my face after with just a wet towl and white stuff that looked like dry skin was rubbing off my entire face...my skin's not that dry so I feel like it was the baking soda. And my dandruff has still not subsided..acv rinse makes me sweat vinegar, I'm super active so that's just...gross to the people around me...so are there any tips or tricks to rinsing that out more thoroughly as well?

I'vehad my dreads for about 2 weeks and my head is really starting to itch and get kinda gross. I've only really gotten my hair wet when I've been in the lake but other than that I've been avoiding getting them wet in the shower. How should I go about washing them? I've heard I can use a tiny bit of (regular) shampoo and wash them. My hair just really itches and there is dandruff/gross build up that I'm itching out. Can I use a little shampoo and wash with cold water then dry really well to keep my dreads fresh but also in tact?

So I am only about 2 weeks in with some tnr but, mostly neglect.  I have been washing my hair every 4th day. It seems that my hair gets super greasy by that fourth day though cause I live in a warm climate and exercise quite a bit..... Question is should I wash more?  I don't want to wash too much but, to me it feels when my hair is greasy in is not going to knot.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

What can be used for dry hair, since I started my dreads 18 days ago it has sucked the moisture out and feels so dry!?

Comment by ohhitskat on November 3, 2012 at 7:12am

I've been doing a lot of research before starting the dread process & was wondering if there was any prep that I can do with my hair prior to dreads? I've read that its best to start using Dr B's about 2-3 weeks before starting dreads so that the scalp can adjust to the change & to rid any excess residue left from previous products that have been used. Is there much truth to this or does it not any difference?

thyme

technicaly it 1/2 cup per 5 cups

 and dont  do the acv for a few washes then slowly add it back but very weak and rinse right away

oily hairs acidic..too acidic you want to nudje it away from that side of the sectrum towards nutral

I used 1/2 cup baking soda in a gallon pitcher. Is there an oil or other ingredient that helps with an oily scalp?

dread gurus Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on October 9, 2012 at 5:36pm

maybe but what ratios of bs and water since  some directions were rough estimates some exact measurements

Comment by Lisa Wade on October 9, 2012 at 4:56pm

I followed the directions given...I used about 20 drops each of tea tree oil, rosemary oil, lavender oil.  Filled a gallon size pitcher with water and mixed well.  Poured it over my hair, let it soak about 20 min. and rinsed well.  I also did the vinegar rinse.  Maybe less oil next time?  I don't know?

dread gurus Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on October 8, 2012 at 10:26pm

what ratios did u use ? and pour on and leave on 10 min  some pp wrap a towel but whats the pint  u just want to wait a while b4 u rinse

Comment by Lisa Wade on October 8, 2012 at 9:55pm

So today is the first day I finally tried the baking soda deep cleanse according to the directions in the dreaducation section.  Well my dreads feel completely different.  They're super soft, smell great, and my scalp feels great.  The only thing I'm wondering is about the more oily feel and look of my loose hairs at my scalp.  How do I avoid this?  I don't want my hair to look oily.  Also, when it says to let my dreads soak in the solution, am I suppose to soak them in a sink of the solution or just leave it on my dreads and wrap in a towel or what?  I just need some clarification so I feel like I did it right!
