So happy to have found this website. I really wish I would have joined before I started my dreadlocks. There are so many things I would have done differently, though I love my locs.

If I could go back and change some things, I would have used the twist and rip method instead of the backcombing method. I would have put maybe about ten more dreadlocks into my hair. Right now I have 25 dreads, two of them being super tiny and braided together. One of my concerns has always been not having enough!

Currently my locks are eight months old and seeming to be progressing fairly well. Can't wait for maturity! I am so excited.

Anyone suggest any dreadlock shampoos? I am currently using a wild lavendar organic and sulfate free shampoo, but after doing an ACV wash a couple of weeks ago, I've decided about looking into different shampoos to clean them better. My scalp is also really dry, like all the time.

Suggestions would definitely be appreciated!
