dry brittle dreads
I started using a tea spoon of white vinegar mixed in with eight ounces of water.to give my dreadlocks a decent conditioning when they got to dry. I also stopped adding a little bit of salt to the baking soda mix I use to clean my hair.
yea vinager will conditionslightly salt will dry em alot
i kinda mix as needed
i use vinager and salt and jojoba and africas best and whatecver
if i got alotta loose hairs ui skip jojoba and africas best add lil more salt (always use vinager) if the loose hairs are dreading up good i use less or no salt if theyre real dry i use jojoba or jojoba and africas best
over conditioning then might make alotta loose hairs so salt gets back in

BTW you can find Africas Best Ultimate Herbal Oil online or at any walmart/target/walgreens in the "ethnic section". Its good stuff and i found it at walmart for two bucks.
