So, if this offends anyone, maybe SE can remove it?
I've been feeling the desire to write a blog here recently, but didn't want to rant just for the sake of ranting. So, I was just thinking about all the harmful and useless products I just threw away, and figured this needs to be said for the record.
Dreadheadhq. Stay away from them. Let's pretend their products WERE, helpful. Do we really need to pay for sea salt when you can get it from other sources for far less cheaper? Well, I was expecting to go a lot farther on this paragraph, but their sea salt is about the only thing that has helped my hair. I still use it, only because it works and I payed good money for it. Will I buy it again? No. I live a nice drive from the ocean, so come summer, all I need to do is go to the beach, and fill up a couple gallons to take home and be set for a long time. There is an endless supply of "locking accelerator" covering most of the earth. Okay, so maybe not endless, but more than the entire human race could ever come close to using.
dreadheadhq is capitalizing on a natural process by charging ridiculous sums of money. $60 may seem like a small fee, but really, when it comes down to it, we are just filling the hand of greed which portrays peace and love through mass produced paranoia using pictures of hair that looks like dreadlocks. By time we realize what's really going on, we can't even get a refund. Or our time back. Or in some cases, our hair.
I started my dreads about 5 months ago, and unfortunately used dreadheadhq's harmful kit. I almost cut my hair, hair was falling out more than I was comfortable with, and my hair was really greasy and oily. I didn't wash for weeks at a time, and I found dreadlockssite.com. Now I wash with baking soda and vinegar three times a week, and am not using wax. I actually need to take up SE's advice and use waxbgone to get the last bit of wax out of my hair. My hair has made more improvement since I stopped using wax and other harmful products, than it has in the first four months.
To wash with baking soda and vinegar, get your hair wet, put baking soda on your scalp, let it sit and do what it does for ten minutes, then rinse. Now use a little bit of vinegar, diluted by water. (I hope this is right, correct my ignorance if this info is false.) Then rinse right away.
