Greyish powdery locks
MegN, When you don't use enough baking soda, you only begin to exfoliate your skin. What tends to happen is that dead skin gets pulled away, but not completely washed off.
1/2 cup BS to 5 cups water is around the best ratio to completely clean your scalp and hair. Some people need more. Some need a little less. But too much less won't do the job
I did something that got rid of the problem. First off, i did a extra strong BS Wash. I used boiled water and mixed while still hot. Left it in 15 minutes. Rinsed them good then dipped my dreads in a bowl of boiling water.the water turned cloudy again. Squeezed them out good and repeated a few times.Then a good long cold rinse. Finally acv , rinse and rosemary teatree rinse. And voila! Greyish Dreads are now clean! Well it worked for me.
