New need help going natural

Dread Maintenance

Not really sure if I'm replaying correctly lol, but Thanks SO Much Nicole and Chris for the tips.Lucky I don't have hard water so I don't have to worry about that. I'm currently letting sea salt mix set in my hair for an hour and a half, and then I'm going to rinse it out, and put BS on and rinse that out. I will be skipping the ACV at first since my hair is so soft, but add it later on when my hair texture changes or my hair starts to mature.Oh and thanks Nicole about telling me the right terminology, and I don't think it's rude at all to tell a newbie the correct terms.

New need help going natural

Dread Maintenance

Sorry if it looks as if I didn't try to find the answers on the forum, I just wasn't sure what tips would work for me. Also not trying to double post just thought it would work better over in maintenance than in introduction.

Hello everyone, I'm new and looking for help. First off let me start off by saying that I have always wanted dreads, but for most of my life I was told that I didn't have the right hair ( my hair is VERY soft, fine, and curly), but I did end up trying when I was around 17-18 (2010ish) and at that time I would get my hair re-twisted ever 3-4 weeks using the coil method, but I was impatient, didn't like the results, and wanted a mow-hawk, so I cut them off.

Fast forward to April, 2012, and I had full blown loc envy, so I decided to give it another go. As mentioned early my hair has been a huge hurdle in regards to me achieving my dream head of locs, mainly because whenever you try to do anything with it without some kind of product it just puffs up. So while getting my hair done today for the first time in my dreadlock journey I allowed products to be put in my hair to start the process. However, from here on out I would like to go the nature/neglect method. So I was looking for everyone's advice on how I should proceed ( First time to wash, what to wash with etc..) taking my hair into consideration.

-list of the products used below and I believe pics of my hair but not sure because it doesn't show in the preview-

Products:jamaican mango and lime:Shea Butter Conditioning Shine, and jamaican mango and lime: I believe "Lock & Set Styling Lotion" I'll update when I find out for sure.

Thanks in advice for all the helpful tips everyone
