Ok so I used this soak earlier for the first time, though I've been meaning to do it for awhile and haven't had the time. I look up to you SOARING eagle for all your advice and the beauty and strength in your locks- so I knew your instructions for this soak would work wonders. Soaked for 25 minutes then rinsed it for 15 minutes til I thought the water was running clear. When I was drying my body I glanced at my hair an noticed every frizz and stray wisp of hair has white on the ends, so now my entire head has white on the body of the dreads. It doesn't look like the build up I used to have; it looks like leftover baking soda almost. It left my hair feeling very soda-y, almost like a thin layer of slickness, hard to explain. Not neccesarily clean feeling BUT I can feel the cleanliness in my roots and my locks don't smell! Omg the musty wet smell is gone from the thick body of my dreads! Yay! So I know know know it worked for what it was supposed to do BUT I did something wrong and need you to help me figure out what exactly I didn't do. Did I not rinse well enough? The top of my head almost looks grey and my hairs dark brown so it seems like there's baking soda left over on my locks, but I swear I rinsed it long enough. I took a picture to show u but don't know where I can post it. Comment me back so I know if I need to re rinse or something else. My dreads feel great clean and smell wise but there's a layer of something on them still that was never ever there before and its making it look like there's white specks all over but its not build up

Have you replied to me yet? I was using maylees yet. I'm sry I'm having a hard time reading this comment thread because it doesn't work well with mobile so I can't tell if you've responded yet

Hey it won't let me log in to the new site and I'm not sure if you got my response comment cuz it's not showing up, but I'm confused why you're saying to use 1/2 cup BS with 5 water, when the instructions above say use 1 1/2 CIO BS and and gallon of water? I'm commenting on the thread where you posted the instructions... There's still a grey tint and white specks in my hair so should I rinse it with water before doing another soak ?

It won't let me comment back to you on the thread you left me a response at, so hopefully you're not confused as to what I'm referring to. But I'm the one who told you I did the BS soak and it left grey tint all over and white specks and a filmy feeling on the body of the dreads

Amazingly detalied tutorial, you're amazing, Eagle! Can i use regular powder baking soda? Cause I don't think they sell Arm & Hammer or the like in my country

Just did my first bs/acv wash! My head feels super clean, with no itchiness at all! And my head does not smell of vinegar! It's just that I still see dandruff in there, maybe even more than before... Did i do it wrong? I did 1 cup of water for 1 tablespoon bs and 1 cup water to few sprinkles acv

1 1/2 tablespoons per cup
