Trouble Dreading

Dread Maintenance

I actually just got some beads yesterday and ive been using the sea salt spray especially on that side. they've been locking a little bit but its taking them a lot longer than my left side. And yeah my hair has always kinda dreaded pretty fast, even when i wasnt trying to dread. So i gave up my brush and just let them do their thing

Time. more time. I am 7 months in and am just now seeing noticeable changes...I wish I would have seen ANY progress at 2 months. That's pretty awesome. You could always try some beads wraps or sea salt spray...

Trouble Dreading

Dread Maintenance

I've been dreading for about 2 months now and the left side of my head looks great but the other side not so much. i sleep on my right side so there having a hard time locking. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do. i heard something about wearing a hat to bed but it always falls off :/

General Questions

Iwas talking with one of my friends who has had dreads before, he said that they minewill probably fall out when they mature because my hair is sothin and my dreads are thin as well. Im thinking about starting over and making them a little thicker but i dont want to do that if its not nessary.Has anyone on here delt with thin hair/thin dreads? Any advice would be much appreciated

How should I care for my new dreads?

General Questions

what kind of soap should i use when i wash them?

Adam Kelly said:

Great, you shouldn't have any size issues. Just remember not to rebackcomb or anything. You will just set your hair back to square one. If they completely fall out, let them be. Wash 1-3 times a week and separate when the sections get bigger than 1 square inch or the dreads start to grow together.

General Questions

I honestly don't know. My hair has always just kinda dreaded up on its own. It sectioned itself out, i just took the sections and backcombed them. i finally decided to just go with the dreads since my hair is so rebellious to a brush anyways.

Adam Kelly said:

Oh yeah, and they probably will. It's totally normal. Just let them do their thing. They will lock back up by themselves. What size sections did you use? Were they all square and perfect?

General Questions

I didn't use wax. i heard it was really bad to use ondreads. I'm weary to wash them though...I feel like they're going to fall out.

Adam Kelly said:

I see you backcombed. Did you use wax? You should be able to wash 3 times a week. But if you used wax you have to remove it immediately or it can rot the inside of the dread.
