Hi Denise. For your dandruff, have you tried to do a baking soda wash and apple cider vinegar rinse? The baking soda exfoliates the scalp without scrubbing, This may help with your dandruff issues. Also, at the end of your shower, hold you head under as cold water as you can take, this will also help and is a free fix...I see you use the DreadShampoo, they are fantastic for hard water, I use the liquid for myself....
Just encase you don't know the baking soda ratio: 1/2 BS to 5 cups water (boil water first since you have hard water) Pour cooled mixture over wet head and leave on for 10 minutes without scrubbing. It will exfolliate all on its own. After rinsing it out, you will follow up with an Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinse. Mix 1 capful of ACV to 5 cups water, pour over head and leave on for no longer than 1 minute, you can also rinse it out right away. This will balance the hairs PH and is a dread friendly conditioner.......Try doing this once every couple of weeks until your dandruff is gone.....Peace
I was planning on twist and rip...the neglect method isn't exactly what I want to do. And I decided not to use Dr. Bronners after reading up on it because I do have hard water so I decided to buy a dread soap bar from one of the shops on here
before you even think aboit starting tell me exactly what you plan to do
dreeads arent put in they are alowed to grow all starter methods do is define sections wich isnt agreat idea anyway cause they may reject those sections
Welcome to the site Denise. You came to the right place for all your dreading info before you start your journey. Dr. Bronners soap does not work well with hard water, it leaves a residue, so hopefully you have soft water. Enjoy your soon to be journey, Peace

Thank you guys for the love and support. since I joined this site I stopped using regular shampoo and conditioner, now all I do is wash my hair with baking soda and acv. I've had some dandruf problems here and there, but that has not discouraged me, and I'm determined to never going back to putting chemicals in my head. @ Barrellady, thank you for the advice on the biotin, my hair is about 6" on the front and about 5" on the rest of the head. as of today I haven't combed my hair for one week and I'm very excited to see how my hair is curling up and separating itself. I hope that my hair is not too short to dread yet...
