Just plain water will not get rid of the oil ( oil repels water) and all kinds of junk is going to get stuck in the oily hair and oily hair does not dread as well..So you need shampoo or a water baking soda mix to get the oil out.

what mix of baking soda?? baking soda and sea salt ?

try searching on the site for the ratio of baking soda. search: baking soda wash

I am new at this just like you. the day i turned 20, i decided to never comb or cut my hair for as long as i live! I am nearly 3 months in and i have some good formations. I found out quick that after a wash with dr. bronners to towel dry them, but dont rub the towel in, just kind press it all around your head and let them drip dry after that. After every wash, they seem to tighten up! Keep em clean, seperate when needed, and be happy while being nappy!
