I shower every night ,I wash my dreads every other day or maybe 2-4 days sometimeWhen I dry them I sqeeze most of the water out then I shake them around after that I move them around with a towel then I sqeeze them with a towel then I wrap my dreads in a towel

thsts why u never want to wrap em in a towel u need air flow around em

try showering just when u wash your dreads and do that vinager soak u might needto a few times

then air dry no anything wrapped around em that caused the mold

get out in the sun to dry as much as u can

try not to wet them every day tuill u solve the mold only shower the days u wash em

3/4 cuopup 1/4 cup water 30-50 drops lavender oil

well u can leave it on a full day to be safe

but a few hours or whatever

u can also make a strong thyme tea

like a good handfull in a small pout simmer 20 min then strain spray on

leave on

sun or blow dry and no wrapping a towel aeround em will make alotta difference too

if its early stages just chabnging that might make enough diference

if not move om to the vinager or thyme
