Dread Maintenance

does the fact that my hair is in all different lengths of layers make a difference in the dreading process ? it touches my shoulders at its longest point and is like 2-3ish inches at its shortest.

I know backcombing isn't the best but I figure maybe it'll encourage the rest of my hair!

Hey everyone so im new to dreading but have thought about it for a long time and I decided to backcomb a couple random places in my hair but now I don't know where to go from here. ive been reading a lot of discussions but what do I do once I get new growth? I know I want to let the rest just kinda dread on its own. Would a shampoo from my local heath food store most likely be good to wash my hair with and wont disrupt the process? and do I blow dry my hair or let it air dry? What about the ends? someone give me the 101 please ! I kinda just jumped into it and tips/advice would be awesome!

I usually only shower if I feel particularly dirty or stinky! So, probably every 2-3 days or so. I also only use soap on the parts of my body that get dirty/sweaty, so my usual shower usually only consists of washing my feet, underarms and other sensitive areas, etc. The rest of the time showering is devoted to contemplating the universe and making life decisions =]
