Hello there. A few of you know me. I joined a little over a week ago, due to intense research I was doing over the internet about dreads. I kinda sit around in chat mostly, but I realized I haven't even introduced myself. My name's Cody, and I've been wanting dreads for years, but I don't think I was ready for them, until now. I started originally with twist and rip's around new years. After doing even further research, I kept having a gut feeling I should start over, naturally. I did just that. I started Jan 5. 2013 on my natural quest. I've been using bs wash's, with sea salt and dr bronners, as I have softer water. I used acv rinse the first couple times, but I don't think it's necessary for me, at least right now, according to my scalp/hair. I just ordered some Mayan Gold dread soap, based on SE's review, so I get to figure out how to use the bar most efficiently soon :] I am trying reaaaal hard to basically forget I have hair, so things go smoothly, but it's pretty difficult so far -.- Thanks for all the advice and friendly gestures I've gotten so far, and I would really appreciate any other advice or tips that you can give, or just any positive vibes you can send my way.. Thanks again all :]
PS: Day 1 and 2 pictures, so you can see what I am starting with. Sorry for the bad quality, cell-phone camera.
