umm ok ive been washing with bs/acv but do you guys put ur oils in the bs mix or acv mix just wondering im putin mine in my bs and is there any difference?
I don't usually add much oils to my baking soda wash... most of it gets rinsed away within minutes anyway.
I make dread sprays instead. Get a spray bottle, fill with water and a small splash of vodka, and add your oils. My standard "cooling" spray is about 15 drops of peppermint and 10 of rosemary, plus a bit of jojoba oil for conditioning. I keep it in the fridge and just spray it on whenever my scalp feels itchy or hot.
My "just for good smells" one is water + vodka + pure vanilla extract (the kind used for cooking). I spray it on the length of the dreads rather than the scalp.

I am only using tea tree oil and patchouli oil in my bs. so is it a a cup to a gallon of acv? and is it just acv and water in the second rinse? and is it good to do it more than just once a month?
My recipe
3 cups of water
3tbsp BS
25 drop of rosemary
15 teatree
10 lavender
5-8 patchouli
Now before everyone starts telling me I am using too many oils, I had to experiment with my wash for about two months to find a combination that did what I wanted it to and took away my itchies. This is what I came up with and MY dreads love it.

It's a preservative and also helps diffuse the scent when it's sprayed. You only need a little vodka though, you can save the rest for drinking.
