I have the same problem, lots of damaged white hair in dreads that mostly face the sun, not sure what damaged them like that, I leave ACV only for 5 minutes...

Yikes, sorry to hear about your bad advice concerning the ACV. In the beginning, ACV should be rinsed out within one minute, then with mature dreads, it should only stay in for about 3 minutes to condition the dreads. so this may be what caused the problem for you. Think of pickles or boiled eggs inside of a jar with the juice, which largely consists of vinegar. The vinegar dissolves the egg shell over time, softens the skin of cucumbers turning them into pickles. I don't think there is a repair for this, but I know you can stop it from happening further by not resorting to leaving on ACV anymore. I wish it was only grey hairs! Hope you share your new knowledge with others you know.....peace

Yeah but then i have to order from the us.

If you leave in the ACV without washing it out, could this be the result from doing that? Someone told me you shouldnt wash it out so i did that the first year or so.

Ahmed, you are only 2 months into your journey. The ratio for ACV is 1-2 capfuls of ACV mixed with 5 cups of water. Pour over wet hair once you rinsed out the shampoo or BS, then rinse it out right away or within one minute tops....Don't leave it in longer than that, 5 minutes is too long.....peace

Oh, that's outdated, they're 1 year old now, pretty mature, I do 1:10 ACV/water, I will try to leave it for less.

Would staying in sun for long periods cause such damage also?

No, if your hair is healthy, sunshine is fine for you. I am not sure on the ratio percentage but it is 3 1/2 tablespoons to 5 cups water.....peace Ahmed, have a great day
