General Questions

will do...should i tear the big sections in half or would it be better to give them a chance to fall out?

Take out those rubber bands. They will break, get stuck in the dread, rot and smell. I don't know how big a dollar is, but they should be no bigger than aquarter, so I hear. 1 square inch is theabsolutemax they should be. It is better if you use different sized sections and random shapes. Better for your scalp heath. After you wash with BS, you need to do an ACV rinse. Type BS/ACV into the search function, or BS and AVCseparately. You will find all the info you need there. Also worth looking at is "essentialoils"

no i didnt use wax... my friend keeps telling me to but i spent a few days reading about it and thats a no go lol.. so far ive soaked them with salt water and washed them with baking soda.. i have loose rubber bands in around the base of each dread (though some have fallen out) as far as the section sizes.. id say they are no bigger than a half dollar.. some are smaller than the others though ... i had two really big ones in the front that i ended up tearing in half

First off, did you use wax? If you used wax then you should remove it immediately. If not, then some of the dreads should completely fall out and they will form new dreasd. This is normal. Another Q, what size sections did you use? Were they all perfectly square, etc?
