I think I left it too long, I should have been more attentive to separating them, they're proper matted together and I'm trying to gently pull them apart with my fingers (I cut my nails real short) but I'm very scared that if I pull too hard it will tear (I had that happen with my last set of dreads). Any advice? I can attach pics if that'll help?
actually I might get the 2nd amazon one I listed then see what happens, again it's only a short term thing so I'm hoping it'll end up alright
awesome I'll stay away from those, some people are saying it's bad in the feedback and some say it good, I never know whats good or bad info these days but you always set me straight! hmm I don't have fb and they won't let me create an account without a picture of me next to my drivers license (which I don't have lol), I'll be careful and think just use lush for a few weeks, I mean the locks are only 2-3 weeks old so I think(hope) that if I wash them maybe twice a week(?) with the lush stuff they won't hold much residue right now. Anyway hopefully I can get some of the good stuff within a month, so the lush stuff might have to do until then
You can get pretty much a years supply for the 25. It’s flat rate I’m not sure where the cut off is but I think it’s something like a six of the bottles 10 of the bars something like that before it goes up to the next tire shipping price
okay sounds good, I think I'll leave the amazon stuff it's too complicated. I'll keep trying for the dreadlocksshampoo one, thank you very much!
or this?
ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, *Sodium Palmate, *Sucrose, *Sodium Cocoate, *Aloe Barbadensis, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, *Pepermint essential oil and Peppermint Herb. * = Certified Organic.
ahh I'm in a panic now I dunno what ingredients are good or bad!
what about this:
the reviews seem good for dreadheads, no parabens and seems kinda natural
ingredients: Aqua, Ammonium laureth sulfate (sounds bad but made from coconuts), Maris sal, Melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil, Citrus limon peel oil, Citrus aurantifolia oil, Citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil, Polysorbate 20, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Citric acid, Limonene.
Bronners is MARGINAL if you DO NOT have hard water in hard water it’s almost like wax with buildup from hell
if your in USA the absolute best The best Organic dreadlocks shampoo the liquid for young dreads licks em up fast
the bars for mature keep em super healthy
the oils if essential oils are ok in small amounts.. drops..
but the shampoos are .,well.. read the ingredients you’ll see
Damn that sucks, I have hard water and I'm in the UK so buying from dreadlockshampoo will cost $25 in shipping alone!
thank you I thought that was the best comb, but I'm not doing it anymore
What about distilled water? I actually have a distiller (originally for distill alcohol, but it basically heats up any liquid and removes whatever makes it hard water, so I guess that's an option I can experiment with) or I could just buy a few bottles of distilled from the shop and save them for cleaning, I think I'll leave the oils for now, in a few months I'll maybe add them.
haha I just read the ingredients, beer well that's a surprise! I wish I could get it but 25 for shipping then taxes on top make it unaffordable, hmm, I'll have a look on ebay/amazon and see if they have anything similar, or I could maybe make it myself I'm not sure. if you don't mind I'll reply with anything I think is similar but available in the UK, thank you so much I was just gonna buy some BS from my local shop
those look amazing! I hope mine get like that, my hair is naturally curly/wavy so I've a lot of twisters like yours that start out as one but break into 3-5. I'm trying to go natural this time
heres some pics, again it's only 2-3 weeks so yeah, not much (but I'm so excited to begin the journey again!), I'll have to separate some soon or they'll all congo but otherwise, are they okay? oh and the bandana, it makes them look neater for oing outside but would that prevent or slow the process? thanks
edit: oh dear I just noticed a post saying to not use BS, how do I clean them then? is dr bronners still okay at a 1/12 dilution?
oh yeah also should I not use oils for now and wait until they have properly formed or will it just take longer to knat up?
