im so excited to start dreading my hair but i just dont know where to start! like how to section them or how to wash them before you even start.. i know i want to use the rip and twist method so im all good with that but how should i wash my hair before i start this journey?
i only want to use household natural products..
i heard acv and bc work but how would i go about doing so?
i put two spoons of bc in the sink full of warm water then dip all your hair in, leave for 5-10mins then wash out with either water or acv then drip drie, and leave you hair to do its stuff naturally, I normally wash my hair 2- three times a week but only use bc once a week works amazingly for me x
thats completely wrong its bs not bc its 1 part to 10 parts so 1 cup to 10 cups and u dont rinse out the bs with acv ypu rinse with water then do acv weak
ok
poyr a cup (or 1/2 cup) bs in a pitcher hop in the shower wet your hair add 5-10 cups water (depending on if u used 1/2 or 1 cup)
stir
pour over head
wait 10 min
rinse
then mix 1 or 2 spoonfulls of acv in 5-10 cups water
pour over head nd rinwe right away
section let it section itself
Soaring Eagle is right, the home made recipe for washing your dreads needs to be correct in order to exfoliate the scalp properly. I used the baking soda wash, apple cider vinegar for my entire first year. This is a fantastic method because at no time do you ever need to scrub the scalp. With the proper ratios, the mixture does all the work for you, so you developing sections/dreads are never unkotting due to scrubbing. For my long hair I used the 1/2 cup to 5 cups ratio, that was all I needed, so it saves money. Unless you have an extremly oily scalp, always follow the BS wash with the apple cider vinegar rinse. This will balance the hairs PH. Without using it after a BS wash, you will slowly fry out your hair, and when you finally notice, it will take months to correct.
If you want to do the T&R method, do you hair a huge favor and let it section naturally first, wait 2-4 months until you use a method.. I have a posting on my page that may help you: http://www.dreadlockssite.com/forum/topics/just-starting-out-what-to-expect
