I've heard lemon juice isn't good for dreads, it eats away at something or other in your hair. Yes you can use ESSENTIAL OILS not say olive oil products morracian oil nothing you'd find at a salon would be good.. go to your local health store and pick out your favorite 100% pure essential oil. Nag champa peppermint tea tree. Rosemary (which all have positive effects on your hair/body) to name a few.As for the extentions, I don't know much about them. I don't like them but some do.Good luck and welcome!

Life Issues Facing Dreads
Mine also made fun of my fuzzy baby dreads in the first two weeks.. I bet in a couple months when theyre well on the way and you start getting compliments left and right he will feel/behave differently. Mine did. Feel better sister, people are always gonna be judgmental and cruel, let it in one ear and out the other.

Not sure about the soap, but i know the pomade isn't good for dreads. Sorry:[
We've got the same hair type, speaking from my own experiences it will dread up very quick, especially if youtake the natural route :] crocheting is very harmful and leads to balding!I can relate athousand percent with the constant battle against stubborn Frizzy curls. I used to pay 450 every six months for the Japanese straightening method. So insane! For once our wild curls are beneficial and helpful! Pretty groovy ;pDread on lady, and don't hesitate to write on my wall if you have questionXxxxx
