Always wanted dreads but never got it to happen so now i hope its happening i dont wanna mess it up and have to start again as i wont have paiyence to do so

How to moisturise and dry newly natural growing dreads?
with your hair type stop using baking soda and acv use the dreadlockshampoo.com bars and u shiuldfnt need to moisturize much if u do a lil jojoba in alotta water as a rinse goes a long way
id use a blow dryer not a towel

okay cool ..... is rubbing it when drying bad as some say it is and some say its not....
well the thing with rubbing is one timer u might think wow its so much knottier now and another time be like holy crap there goes 3 months of progress
it can create knots.. or can totalt wipe them oit
its bertter to just let them happen and try not to interfere as much as u can
