Hello all.
I'm julizah15, and I'm in the process of growing out my hair in order to let it dread. It's about 3 inches long all over, so I'm trying to let it grow to about 5 or 6 inches before I put down the comb officially. I won't be using any wax or the like--I figure if it doesn't rinse out, why would I put it on my body? Also plan on using the acv/baking soda wash for keeping my future dreads squeaky clean and such, since that's what my boyfriend uses and his dreads are 8 years old and lovely. I was wondering, though, is it too soon to start prepping my hair/scalp for dreading? For example, should I start training my hair to tolerate being washed only a couple times a week, since I know that dreads take so much longer to dry and such? Anyway, I hope that wasn't horribly long, just wanted to say hello and find out what y'all think, since I've seen so many lovely sets of dreads on this site.
