So im about to wash my dreads with the whole baking soda tea tree oil thing, and I just dont know how to go about this? haha, it said soak them, so idk if i should just dump it on my head and let it soak in, but if i do that if it gets in my eyes is that a bad thing? And im worried I put to many drops in, is that a bad thing? Sorry for the stupid questions lol, this is my first time washing with it.

Tilt your head back a little bit and then pour the mixture on your head and let it soak.I usually use an empty eight ounce shampoo bottle to pour my particular mixture onto my head while I am in the shower.

Im getting my senior pictures today, and since I washed them the other day there like really frizzy and just a mess and i want them to look nice for my pictures obvisally lol. Do you know anything I could do to make them look easier? I heard aloe but all we have is the aloe for sun burn.

I know this is probably to late for your senior pics, but when I have photo shoots where I'm concerned about frizzy hair I've used a tiny bit of aloe on each dread and palm roll them smooth. It washes out easily and keeps new dreads from being to frizzy. Other options for pics include wearing a hat, having a photog who's good at photo shop, or, and the one I use most often, just don't care. hahaha (-:

Can you get just aloe at like walmart? Cause I only now about aloe VERA which is used for sun burn? Or is it the same thing? hahah

Hahaha I know how that is. I had pics done to send back to my parents (who aren't thrilled about the dreads) and needed them to be a little more polished. (-:I burn SUPER easily (pale skin, red hair) so I always have just plain old Aloe Vera gel around. So yep, that's what you use. Just make sure it's just the Aloe Vera gel, no extra chemicals.

hahahahahah, my parents are totally cool with it. My mom took me to get dread wax and shit (before I knew that wasnt good) and my dad was like "If I wasnt almost 40 I so would" But the grandparents and older people arent so openminded about it lol. But thanks so much!
