Paranoid about my husband's pomade getting on my dreads.

Thanks SE I'm going to order him some of that.

Paranoid about my husband's pomade getting on my dreads.

General Questions

I know this is kinda meant to take the place of wax for people who want to use something to get the hair to stick together and pomade is wax so this should probably work, does it have thick waxy consistency like pomade or is it more like hair gel?

And do you think I need to do anything to my hair to make sure none is in there? I've been being pretty careful to change pillowcases often etc so I don't think I've been exposed to it much. And it would probably slow down dreading if it was in there and things seem to going pretty fast, I just want to cautious.

General Questions

Okay well, I haven't had any problems with it but I get kinda worried about the pomade that my husband uses being on our pillows, furniture, and when his hair and beard touch my hair. He slicks back his long hair into a braid with it for work and also uses it to make his mustache stiff and beard straight. Is there a more dread friendly alternative that would work for his needs but I wouldn't have to scared of or is just the ION brand (at least this one didn't have SLS or beeswax like alot of them I looked at) he uses fine and I'm just paranoid?

Natural birth control...

I know it's not as much protection as other methods but it's definitely natural and I believe works much much better than doing nothing, the withdraw method. I wouldn't use it alone though unless I was okay with having a baby but not actively trying.

Take out my glass beads to wash and dry my hair or just leave them in all the time?

Thanks so much for the info I washed my hair yesterday and it all got dry fine I just moved the beads around alittle. They did get alittle smaller when wet but not so much the beads would come off but I'm going to make sure to check that while they are still young since I'd hate for a bead to get broken. I'd rather they didn't get stuck but it's good to hear the hair will be okay if they do. I'll try to only keep beads on the few ones that have already shruck from my mid back to like 3-5 inches hopefully they won't shrink too much more lol.

Hello, I bought some really pretty glass beads and I've been taking them out when I wash and dry my hair so far but I wanted to know if I could just as well leave them in there too without hurting anything? I've only put them on some actual baby dreads and not just the sectioned hair and I'm only 7 weeks in so I want to make sure they don't get in the way of my doing what it needs to dread and don't cause mildew or mold on the hair because it can't dry under the bead.

I looked up about beads but they seem to mainly focus on wood beads and those can soak up water so I figured might take different care then glass beads.

Thanks
