No Longer A DreadHead
Introduce Yourself
They were 4 months in and I removed them because they were started the wrong way. I'm going to try for a healthy and all natural set again in the future.

To Comb or Not to Comb? Opinions?

I combed out 2 to see what it would do...there's white clear stuff falling out (not dandruff) I feel like its wax...I'm starting over and going completely natural..not twist and rip or anything.

They were started with T and R and I'll probably start my second set like that, however, my boyfriend (who did the T&R for me) feels like he could section them better and make them look cleaner now that we are both more educated about dreads.

So I've been thinking lately about combing my dreads out and letting my hair grow out longer before I start my second set. These were started when I already had really short hair and now at 4 months I'm noticing a lot of shrinkage. I love my dreadies but I also started them the wrong way because I bought into the mainstream waxing and crocheting method. The wax has been out of them for almost 3 months and I only crocheted for 2 weeks at the beginning but I can't help but feel my dreads would look better if I started over. Opinions?

A Good Baking Soda/ ACV Recipe?

I washed my dreads with 1/2 cup bs in a 1/2 a gallon of water and they came out feeling clean and no burning sensation. So for me 1/2 cup BS with 8 cups water worked. You guys were right about finding your own recipe. Thanks everyone!!!

The burning sensation came from the 1/2 cup bs to the 5 cups water...is it okay to dilute it? My skin is really sensitive.
A Good Baking Soda/ ACV Recipe?

Okay so the last couple of times I washed my dreads I used a couple of different baking soda recipes. I don't remember the exact amount for either but I know the first time my hair didn't feel clean when I got out of the shower. The second time I used a larger amount of baking soda and mixed it in a large pitcher. After I poured it over my head there was a light burning sensation almost. I can't seem to find the right balance I think...Anyone know of a good BS/ACV recipe for shorter dreads?
