I've been doing that, but it's kind of hard to keep your eyes closed when you need to pour the water from teh big bowl back into the small one.

I tried wiping my eyes with a towel but it's like every time I wiped, more of the BS water would drip from my hair.

I dont really have a probably of getting it in my eyes. every now and then it does get in my eyes but i wipe with a towel and keep going. You will have to experiment on how to pour it without gettin in your eyes so much. or lean back into the sink or tub instead of forward.

Okay, so I tried the bowl method. It worked well, but I had one major problem. I kept getting the BS mixture into my eyes. You know a way to keep that from happening because I'm thinking of wearing my lab goggles while washing my hair.

yea that guy in the video is a chef. but you can find some cheap big plastic bowls at walmart, kmart or some place like that. I use 2 plastic bowls, some times a glass jar for pouring and large plastic bowl for catching.

I like that guys videos. His dreads are so beautiful. I might try your method Mowriyah in the future (his bowls look like cooking bowls and I don't have easy access to those right now) but for now I'm going to just limit how much comes out with my thumb like how Baba Fats recommended. Thanks everyone; now I don't know have to go searching for a used spray bottle. :D

what i do is mix BS up in a small bowl and put a large bowl in the sink and pour the BS mixture over my dreads and let it catch in the large bowl then pour the BS mixture from the large bowl back in the small bowl and pour over my dreads again. here is a video of what im talking about.

Hope this helps peace....

I tried again today. Had a much better experience. i needed to bend forward more and keep my head down as much as possible while wiping my eyes in-between wipes. When I did that I didn't get any of the BS into my eyes. Does anyone cover their hair after putting the BS stuff in your hair?

Great to hear that you found a way to get it done. Do you like doing it this way or do you still want to try the spray bottle method? No i dont cover I just continually do the rinse for about 2 mins or until i get tired then rinse it out. I do the same thing with ACV.

I liked doing it this way. If I can find a spare spray bottle or buy one for cheap, I'll try that way and report back on which worked better. Might even take a few pictures too.
