Bicarb wash

Hi, just a little question, how often can i wash with the bicarb soda wash? At the moment i wash my hair every 2 to 3 days but i have to stop using the DrBronners cos it leaves my hair sticky and weird, but i've read that its not advised to use the bicarb wash too often as it will dry out the hair, Also (little question is turning bigger than i thought) any advice on what shampoo to get if i cant wash often with bicarb, i presume i have hard water here due to the DrBronners experiment.

Washing with just bicarb will dry your hair out, you need to use the apple cider vinegar rinse afterwards to get your hair back in balance. I wash with bicarb and acv three times a week with no problems but I think I use a weaker solution of both the bicarb and acv than you would use for a full deep clean. The deep clean would be what you've seen advised as an occasional thing. If your water is hard you might need to dissolve the bicarb in hot water and allow to cool before using it.

Ok, i just wasnt sure if i should use the ACV on baby dreads as i think i read somewhere that it wasnt a good idea, i'll look into it though. Thankyou very much for your help Patience

Apple cider vinegar will condition and balance out the hair. After you wash and rinse well, mix 1-2 capfulls, (depends on your hair length) with 5 cups water, pour on head and leave for 1 minute only and then rinse well. The soaps and shampoos found on dreadlocksshampoo.com work great with hard water. I also have hard water and use the baking soda/ACV for my dreads. Cheers
