All Natural "Maintenance" @ 19 months

It's been 19 months! Here are some more recent pics. I've changed my routines only a little- I make sure to sleep with a wool tam when I can remember/keep it on my head, which really helps with the loosies. I also stopped washing almost entirely- usually just about once every couple of months. I do rinse my scalp with just water here and there, but only wash (with Dr. Bronners diluted) once in a blue moon.

Thanks Soaring Eagle! I used to wash about twice a week, but was having more trouble than I was triumph. I don't mind loose hair, but without washing them I've noticed that my dreads have tightened up a lot and seem to be rewarding me. Scalp might not agree at times...

they seem to have les hairs loose cause they are caked in dirt

wash the loose hairs frizz up but that also vcreates more knotting and speeds fdreading

your not helping things by being dirty
