dreadlock shampoo!!

Dread Products

Hi, I'm around 7-8 months of free-forming and I've tried 3 soaps so far. I did the BS/ACV wash for about a month or two, then I bought a liquid nag champa from dreadlockshampoo and now I'm currently finishing a bar of cedar, sweetgrass and sag also from dreadlockshampoo.

the thing is, I'm king of annoyed with the fact that i have to order them online. I was wondering if anyone knows good shampoo for dreads (no residue and no mold after a while) that are sold in stores? Like at Walmart, a pharmacy or either Target (cause we have one here now!!:D) ? I live in Canada, 15 minutes from Ottawa so I was wondering if someone knows any brands or something that would be lovely to my dreads

thanks!

shampoo!

General Questions

I have bought a bottle of liquid shampoo (nag champa) from dreadlockshampoo which was amazing for the start of my neglect journey! Now I'm currently five months into it and I'm in need of a new bottle! I was thinking going with a bar but I'm not sure if it'll be good for my dreads that aren't "tight" enough yet!

what shall i get?

thanks

neglect method journey: 5 months in!

General Questions

i'm currently 5 months into this journey of freeforming and i've noticed that some of my locs are thick and some are thin.. will the thick ones become even more thicker?they are still pretty much messy but almost all of my hair are locked, they just need to mature and lock more. but the thing that im a little worried about is that when they'll mature its just gonna be one big congo or something because theres a few places that my hair are just flat on my hair but locked up with 2 dreads... its kinda hard to explain, i'd have to take a picture but in the middle where my hair is going to both dreads, i could just form another one but now its too late.. it kinda feels like a net sort of and i feel like the dreads wont have a "specific" root or something..i have a total of 28 dreads i think.. is that bad? will they look weird and spaced up?

General Questions

ball of hair?

General Questions

Here's a pic of what it looks like, it was taken a few days ago so now the ball of hair is a little bigger!

can i have tips on how to separate well? I tried to separate the "balls" from my other dreads that were forming by pulling in opposite directions but they still come back together? should i add beads? hemp cord?

also the dread i twist n ripped that is shown in the picture has a "ball" near and at the base they are literally connected... should i cut it in the middle or?

ball of hair?

General Questions

I'm 4 weeks into my natural method and I was wondering what to do with balls of hair forming? idk i just have these 3 sections of hair that are all tangling together but it's only near the root and it's literally just a ball of hair haha i was wondering if with time it'll just be less as a ball and if the dreads will be too big or form congos!

i always seem to have so many questions about this whole thing but i guess im just too excited and panicky at the same time lol

dying 3 week old natural dreadlocks?

General Questions

my hair color's currently reddish-brown, even a little lighter than this picture ( http://www.dreadlockssite.com/photo/neglect-pre-journey?context=user ) and I have a box of Garnier's ash blonde color that I want to dye my hair with.

I was wondering if it's okay for me to dye my 3 week old natural dreadlocks? like, it will have negatives effects? and will my hair turn orange?
