Names Andy. I started my dread journey about 3 months ago. I also made an account soon after but didn't feel like posting yet. I started my dreads by way of TnR. I'm biracial and my hair is wild and crazy so I decided to start with that so it would be sectioned. Since then I've mostly just left it to do what it wants. I just wash, sleep on wool or with a wool beanie and occasionally use salt and aloe depending on how dry or non dry my hair is at the moment.
I tried some other things like lemon which was utter murder on my scalp, but right now my hair seems to be healthy and dreading nicely.
Photos of my hair as it currently is may or may not follow later.
Edit: quick pic
