help me quick before i shave my hair off

Dreading Methods

cheers ixchel and soaring eagle

I will check out the timeline. I did use this special shampoo for dry scalp, but the last time I washed it I just used water until I got help from here (just did a quick wash)

what shampoo do you recommend? also I read on here to wash between the forming dreads and just use palm? and can I shower my hair or not? it might sound strange question but I wasn't sure if it would pull to much and slow the process down (or would this even help).

so why do you two say not to twist? my guess is itmight slow it down but as I am only dreading the topof my head I don't want them to big and out of proportion. but I could be worrying to much lol

and sorry I do ask a lot of questions =) lol

Dreading Methods

hey guys I need some help to decide how to locks my hair up. currently I have just cut back to washing it toonce a week but I have been told to leave it a little bit longer is this correct? I read something that washing the hair can help the hair to locks but is this after a certain point? e.g when the hair starts to locks up a little bit. I want my dreads to look as even as possible so what is the best way to do this for my hair type? I currently just twist my hair not daily and not to tight as I seen a video and hear about over twisting can cause baldness.

so to summarise everything up. 1. what is the best way to twist my hair? 2.how long will this take for my hair to dread up and drop? 3. my scalp has become dry what is the best method to fix this? 4. how often should I wash it in the early stages and once after I have got dreads? 5.also my hair is long when it is stretched but it curls up. so how do I get them to stay long?

any reply's will be appreciated and I will be spreading the word of this site asI seen an email which asked to help with doing this.

thanks Kieran
