Helo everyone. I have made a few dreads with the twist and rip method and I have noticed that they are really bushy and rough. I have alot of loose hairs that are more than an inch long and this troubles me as to the reliability of these dreads.Another issue is the ends, I get to a point where they just wont dread anymore and I have a inch or two of undreaded hairs. will these eventullay dread with the rest?Another issue issue, can I shower everyday? like just a water rinse and use shampoo every 3 days or so?The last being that I have made a really thin dread because it was naturally sectiond like that, It is really really thin, should I keep it or chop it?

Hi! yes your hair will eventually all dread,You probably T & R'd it pretty tight so it's rough. It will most likely all come undone in the next few days/weeks and then knot up on it's own. So let it do it's thing. It will be fine. You can shower and wash your hair with a residue free shampoo whenever you feel like it. I wouldn't chop anything if i were you! ;o)

overpruduction of oils is in most cases a result of over washing u remove healthy oils and your body reacts by producing more then it needstake a hot wash to clean out the pores then a very cold rinse to close em up then go 2 days without.. then 3 you'll see that u slowly adjust and produce less
