so ive trie using baking soda and water (no oils) <--- maybe thats my problem? i didnt like it cuz i didnt feel clean and it hurt my eyes and it was just bad so i picked up my kb soap again until i can find something else and it isnt cutting it for me either mostly because i dont feel clean. i feel like it isnt reaching parts of my hair on my scalp mostly because its a bar. i was thinking its maybe the brand or because its a bar i dont know but i also bought other soaps at an arts and crafts fair and they arent for dreads but they are organic i just didnt know if they would still work or not. need help!

the baking soda wash wasn't working for me until I adjusted the dilution. Now my hair has never felt cleaner.

How did your hair feel to you?How long have you been washing your hair less often?How often do you wash your hair?How much baking soda did you use? How much water?For the sake of fairness: I will answer my own questions.1. My hair usually feels course after I am done washing my hair.2. At least two years, but I am not exactly sure.3. I typically mix together one tablespoon of baking soda per eight ounces of water.As implied by Jake Holland some people may need less baking soda while others may need more.
