hey i just started my dread about 4 days ago and i am about to wash for the first time. i was wondering what will help my locks tighten more 1.) baking soda rinse or 2.) dreadheadhq shampoo.

also i was wondering since i went with the backcombed method this time around should i wear a stoking cap while i wash?

if recommended to go with baking soda what should my "recipe" be for new dreads?

Deff BS. Never use DHHQ products. First, they are just bad for your locks. Second, it tends to leave a silky residue that will slow down locking significantly.

Use about 3 cups to a quart of water, depending on how long your hair is with 2tbls in the 3 cups or 5-6 tbls in a quart. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse it out really well then use about half a cap of Apple Cider vinegar in 3 cups of water. Rinse that out right away. Don't let it sit.

Don't bother with a stocking or anything like it. You need to let the water run through your hair. If it doesn't they won't lock up. Washing regularly is what makes your locks develop,
