Thanks man! Yeah, you should definitely do that, it accelerates the process by leaps and bounds, you can actually feel them getting stronger and more compact each day. In fact I didn't even bother to wash them with BS during January; the ocean water did all the work, it was not necessary at all.

I want to share some pictures of this beautiful journey, I have to say I'm enjoying it much more than I expected, so thanks a lot for the help that I've received from many people from this community, I really appreciate it.
Before dreadlocks:
3 DAYS:

After this I went on holidays. I went to the beach everyday during this period, which accelerated the process a lot, and also lightened my hair.

2 MONTHS AND 3 WEEKS (these are the only pictures I've got, sorry)


4 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS:



5 MONTHS:
6 MONTHS & 2 WEEKS:
I have a total 87 dreadlocks, many tried to congo but I didn't let them. I think they're dreading pretty fast. I swim everyday in a chlorinated pool, may be that helps the process, and I always wear them loose. I've only used baking soda so far, only adding the ACV when they felt too dry. Hope you like it!

thanks man! I have a total of 87 and I'll try to keep them all by separating one from another to prevent those congos ;D

Great. Can I just rinse my dreads with a lot of water after swimming? I mean, just baking soda once or twice a week (following an avc wash in case it feels too dry, although I have a pretty oily scalp) and the rest of the days just rinsing thoroughly with cold, soft water. It would be much more practical for me than washing them everyday, and besides I don't have any dread shampoo.
Thanks for the tips!

Thanks. Yes, it's chlorinated. Do you think I should wait some time to start swimming again or it's safe? On January I'll go on vacation and swim in the beach, which is great, but until then I have to use the pool. It's pretty important for me as I'm training for a competition in March, next year, but if it's too damaging for my hair at this stage... I'll just wait and do my training out of the water. I'm also thinking I have to get a new swimming cap to fit all my locks.

Hi, I didn't know where to post this, so I came here.
I just wanted to share a couple of pictures, I've just started my journey with T&R method.

That was yesterday. Today I've already washed them with BS method and they look and feel clean I also bought sea salt to accelerate the process, but I haven't used it yet. I'm just a bit worried about swimming in the pool, I feel it's too soon yet but I don''t know... I swim everyday for an hour.
