"I would not tie the bases I would separate weekly, You Don't have to separate all daily. I would not let them go months or you are definitely Congo. But Daily is probably not necessary"

Wife, Momma of 3, birth nerd
How long have you been dreading?
May 2011
Dreading methods, maintenance, and products used (if you currently have dreads)
Twist and rip.
Lots of sea salt/water spray due to having very oily hair; this has helped me cut down from having to wash them every day.
