I've had my dreads for about 2 years and only recently (with reading and etc) realized that i may be damaging then with my bad habits.
i don't plan on cutting them anytime soon, and i wouldn't want to damage them while i keep them, or damage my hair or scull for when i do cut them, so let me try rectify my wrongs i decided.
so heres what i do, please tell me how to do it better and what i shouldnt do.
1. i did crochets (i've been told thats the worst so that i have stopped now, and shant do).
2, i was washing my hair only once a week or once every 2 weeks (also was told that was bad, so i will rectify that)
now for the stuff i need comments on.
3. i dye my hair. . . is that ok?
4. sometimes my scull feels like its being tugged uncomfortably, how do i fix that?
5. i have the smallest of bald patches between two dreads, its very small, but you knw when you knw something is there, u over react, will it get better with the stopping of crocheting or will it grow because dreads are heavyish?
6. i dont use a special shampoo or any products, should i? if so, what?
7. in terms of putting things in my hair like beeds etc, how do i go about that?
my dreads are weak, or looking bad, but i wouldnt want it to ever get there, so plz help
