As we all begin a new year, things come to mind that we want to change or improve. And to start 2013 off for me I wanted dreadlocks. I admit that at first I was against "neglect" and moving towards the "back combing" method, but the more I read,the more I leaned towards naturally letting my locks form. So began my journey.I searched for answers for hours and finally came to the conclusion that I would make my own account and ask the questions I needed. I hope that this site can help me make my dreads possible and enjoyable.I stopped shampooing and combing as of 01 JAN 2013 and my hair has already started separating and curling naturally as it should. I shower daily but use a BSW weekly to keep my scalp from being itchy and causing dandruff. I may have just started but im already super excited in seeing the changes my hair makes naturally.Will be posting pics from short original hair to now, and then every other week til my locks mature.

New Years Resoulution
Haven't actually done one yet. Just started and hasn't been a week yet. I have rinsed with cold water no soap or shampoo while in the shower and let air dry. Hair seems to be doing what it's suppose to do. As far as naturally sectioning goes. Is there something I should change?
By washing do u mean rinsing with cold water and no soap 2 times a week orBSW/acv twice a week or both together?
rinsing isnt washing i mean washing wether u use a dread shampooo or bs/acv

first of all congrats on your decision. secondly try not to pull at the roots too much a lot of people on here will tell you to let them form naturally especially since it seems like you have long hair already so just wash them at least once a week. Now i know this danish chick that only washes em with water and hers are gorgeous so you don't necessarily have to but i don't believe in that you gotta clean em you know. cold water works best and run away from the words wax or crochet. just let em go man you'll love it and don't listen to what anyone says when they see em you're doin this for you
well although shes got nice looking locks she tnr's them constantly never washes and therefore they dont dread right so she forces them to insted of wshing so they just dread
plus can u imagine how dirty they are?

very true they're probably very dirty.....then again maybe not i mean not every one i know gets dandruff though so maybe she's an anomaly. the ancient dreadheads only had spring water so maybe it's case-based
