hi everyone. my oldest dreads are 29 days old, and i'm getting very nervous. i've always had dandruff, and the diluted peppermint dr bronners seems to help it for a few days and then it comes back.also, almost all my dreads underneath (also my oldest ones) seem to be completely unraveled. please help!

thank you so much. i'll be sure to try that next time i wash. i've been washing about every five or so days, (just when it gets very itchy and feels dirty) i've got very curly, coarse hair, and lots of it! do you think that's alright? soaringeagle said:
