I started out the wrong way. I mixed my baking soda and apple cidervinegar together, let that sit, and rinsed. I got a recipe from either on here or the net somewhere, I'm sure I just read it wrong. I found a new recipe and followed his directions. My head was still itching and my husband told me it smelled bad just after a few days of me washing it. I did not use any essential oils although I planned to. I changed the amount of BS and ACV, but still nothing helped. I decided to wash with baby shampoo which is what I did before I dreaded and it was all I had around home that I trusted to use on my hair. (also decided baby shampoo because some of my dreads looked more like braids (TnR), so I knew I needed to loosen them up some. Baby shampoo has a small amount of conditioner) and after I rinsed the baby shampoo out, the water was dark, just plain gross, but my dreads on the other hand felt so soft and healthy. Baking soda and apple cider vinegar did not work out for me. Is this possible or did I do something wrong? All I've seen are good reviews and I use baking soda for a lot of things. I'm getting Dragons Blood Dreadlocks Shampoo Bar and Himalayan Pink Sea Salt Spray on Monday.

I was wondering what to do about frizz? I honestly don't mind my frizz, but my boss on the other hand is getting used to "my new look." They are baby dreads (TnR). And so far locking up very well. Less than a month old(most of them). Using wooden breads and bs/acv wash. Any ideas?

My dreads are going on 3 weeks as of today! ^_^ my hubby surprised me with a gift for Valentines Day - beautiful beads! I have been putting beads in them and I'm wondering if that's okay? I move them around a little bit so they won't grow with the dread. They seem to be keeping my dreads tight.
