Natural way to make a single dread?

Also I have posted up photos from day 2 and 3. They were taken 26 hours apart and there is quite a difference!

Natural way to make a single dread?

Dreading Methods

Hi Patience

I think I'm going to stick with water just now though most people seem to use the bicarb/acv. Since I gave up shampoo in December (and it was and all natural shampoo I used!) The condition of my hair has been so good I never want to put anything in it ever again!

To me my hair has a nice natural oiliness - it is never 'greasy' and I think this is natural too, like dreads. I know they're going to be with me a long time so I don't mind waiting a bit longer unless there are other reasons why not using a bicarb/acv rinse or similar would actually be a bad idea?

Thanks

I was going to create one dread at the back. But have decided to let the whole lot dread naturally! Stopped combing/brushing two days ago.

It feels right if a bit scary. It's just where I am in my life at the moment. Now is the time

At the moment I am washing my hair with water only every morning, squeezing excess water out and then letting it dry naturally.

Apologies - question no longer relevant.

I have my reasons for dreading and after spending some time reading through this site I have taken out the hair band thats been in for a few days in the hope it would form a dread.

Stopping combing and going all natural

I'll try blog my progress.

Om Shanti

Hi! Hope I've posted in right section.

Looking to start my journey but I don't feel quite ready to just let it all go and wondering what is the best natural way to create a single dread at the back of the hair.

Can I tie some hair together with a hair band and just not brush that part? If so where abouts should the hair band be? root, tip, middle?

If it makes any difference my hair is shoulder length, thick and reasonably oily/well conditioned. I gave up shampoo in December and only wash with water (best thing I've ever done for my hair so far!)

Thanks
