washing!

Dread Maintenance

I finally started neglect dreads two weeks ago and I washed my hair with the BS/ACV wash on the first week but my hair felt weird when they dried... It felt greasy/oily so I came here, looked up a few things on the forum, and found out that it's perhaps the ACV wash because of the acidity so when I washed my hair yesterday I skipped it.

It's still greasy which I don't understand why... I was thinking about buying myself a dreadlock shampoo on the website but which one should I buy that would improve my problem?

Thanks you guys, :D

Coping with others?

General Questions

Everyone is right, I think I should learn to love myself more and stop worrying about others's opinions. A dreadlock journey is something beautiful and different everyday which I will appreciate.

Mikasaurus you are so right! It frustrates me so bad!

General Questions

Seeing that I'll be doing my dreads by the neglect method, my hair's going to look crazy for a few months and that's not a good thing when you work at Walmart! I already have a low self-esteem so I kinda want you guys's opinions on how you dealtwith thejudgmental society we have.

I can already imagine clients being like "oh, didn't had time to brush your hair?" "having a rough day?" or whatever lol

starting natural dreads!

General Questions

apple cider vinegar, got it!! :D it's not actually a beanie, it's a rasta tam i believe! I didn't knew the right term was tam, thanks for that!

i guess i thought it would tangle more with the wind because my hair gets pretty tangled all the time

General Questions

I'm not sure what's the acv? thank you very much for the info!

when i'm finished washing them, can i gently pat my hair with a towel so that some water will be taken out? I don't want a lot of water dripping out of my hair.

also, seeing that its winter in canada, would putting a beanie onwreckthe dreading process? will the wind from riding on my longboard do the same?

starting natural dreads!

General Questions

Greetings,
I want to start dreading my hair naturally and do some by the method of twist n rip but some things are still unclear and misunderstood.A few days ago I made my first dreadlock ever by the T&R method and thought about doing the rest (except a few) naturally!

my first question would be how do i start? I washed my hair today so do I just leave them like that and wash them with baking soda in like, 3 days? How do I wash it with the baking soda, do I just pour the powder on my hair and rinse? I tried to read about it but I don't get it lol

after I wash them, can i run my fingersthrough? and how much time do I have to wait until I wash them again?my hair is curly/wavy, will my dreads tend to wave as well and be more likely to zig-zag and have loops?I have a lot of questions but I literally want to know everything from like A to Z lol

thanks in advance
