did my own first wash....

So i did my own wash today, for the first time...after i found this site...i refuse to go to a salon! So i did BS wash, no joke that cleaned my scalp real good, although i think i should have left it for more than 15 mins. Then i diluted dr b's and added peppermint oil, after that...rinsed hair with sage and rosemary tea with sea salt....my girls feel pretty soft, some of them got loose, but i just re twisted all of them with coconut oil. My scalp feels great so far. I am excited i finally did this on my own, feels great all around!

Peace

The baking soda is supposed to take place of the dr bonners. So I think u did a little bit more then what u should have. You should have just used yor essential oils with your bs. Also what kind of cocaonut oil did you use? I know alot of those have petroleum in them so be carful

It was virgin coconut oil

So i washed my hair with shampoo and tea only last week, no other maintenance just washed, my scalp felt good but i didn't see any dirt come out and my locs were really loose and messy. So this week, I washed with BS only, a lot of junk came out and then i did my tea and twisted w/ virgin coconut oil....hair looks good but my scalp is kind of itchy. there were a lot of spider hair connected to more than two locs this time...

USE THE VINAGER AFTER BS TO RESTORE PH SEPERATE THE DREADS AND WOULD NOT KEEP TWISTING THEM THAT CAN WEAKEN THE ROOTS

how much vinegar should i use? Do i mix it with water?

a half to cap-full acv to less a liter of water to my baby dreads, that works for me..

the more acv, the more it conditions/softens your hair..so be careful of using more acv if your dreads are new..

also for new dreads rinse right away old dreads use more (bout the same as bs ) and rinse after 3 min
