Hey guys. I have shoulder legh hair and am thinking of dreading it. I am debating on whether to use te twist and rip method or neglect. What are the pros and cons of each?
Also, what are some good things/products to help with forming and keeping dreadlocks? Thanks.
natural all the way
no products
dreadlocks affct you in profound ways especialy the natural journey so the biggest pro is on your entire being beyond just your hair
ok i shouldnt have said no profducts just no gunks like gels or waxes
just a dreadlock shampoo or baking soda
and sea salt (optionakl)
beads are nice too
tnr gives instant gratification but tends to lead to panick even disapointment wgen the instant gratification didnt lead to instant perfect dreads on the other hand naturals delayed gratifuication leads to immense pleasuedre at every tiny sign of progress
as far as differences in how they form
natural they form very organicly like roots
tnr can get more organic ofcourse but starts more straight and often braid like y]if you dont randomize enough
as far as damage
tnr is pretty gentle if u do do it gently

Goddamnit, haha. What i was ging to ask was. How do i make a solution from baking powder to clean my hair? How often should i shower/wash my hair? Is it easy to separate dreads and shape them to your preffered size? Thanks.
