got a bit of a problem.

my head itches but only at the back of my head. and i got abit of dandruff on the front. if i would use normal anti-dandruff shampoo what would happen??? guess its not good for the dreads???

how do you go about the whole soda mission and when do you do the vinagar mission + what good does it do.

Does using shampoos make your dreads heavy from residue build up?

I do the baking soda wash every so often, if my dandruff gets really bad. But for the most part, I keep a bottle of Rosemary and Thyme tea (with a few drops of tea tree oil) in the bathroom with a bottle of sea salt water. I pour the tea over my scalp, let it set for a few minutes while I wash the rest of me, then rinse it out well with the sea salt water.Just be sure that the amount of salt in your water is in close ratio to that in the oceans.
