Thanks Rachel, I'll persevere with the with bs and invest in some acv tomorrow me thinks. My hair's pretty greasy as it is so maybe it's justreadjusting its oil balance now I've said bye bye to normal shampoo. Wow an aloe plant would be amazing i'll definately bear that one in mind next time I'm near an Ikea.I've alreadf got some jojoba so I've definately got a lot of advice to go ontoday, thanks guys

Coolio thanksI will look into getting some stuff shipped, in the mean timeI might go and quiz them at lush tomorrow then if I can bear being followed around by the staff the whole time I'm in there!

Yeah I tried bs and it didn't seem to wash my hair well at all, left it quite greasy, so maybe it'sour water.

I had a few knots come out of each dread I brushed out, I'd say with about twenty-thirty hairs in each knot, not crazy damage but enough breakage for me to not want to brush the hair out as I have pretty limited hair to start with! What a palava!!..although I hope with a bit of time I'll be left with dreads I love.

Yeah that's helpful thank-you My hair is also very thin and straight so if yours have loosened up I expect mine will too given time. My hair grows pretty fast so hopefully grid head won't be around for long!

SE thnaks for your advice.I'm takingpics of the daily progress but I'min my student digs atm, andhaven't got my camera USB thingy with me here.. Next time I go home i am gonna post my progress and hopefully by then (late December)they will be lookin' schweeeet. Or at least a bit better.I brushed two out round my ears to try and hide the harshness of it abit and lots of hair came out so I think I'm gonne keep them in and play the waiting game, and try and loosen the little blighters a bit. You live, you learn! yes we have lush here are they good for dreads? they have Sodium lauryl sulphate in though and I've read that ingredient is a bit of a nastie but all the ohjter ingredients seem to be above aboard so maybe I'l just give it a go Cheers

Hello there you lovlie headed people.

I got my dreads two days ago and was VERY surprised with the result. So I googled the crap out of my method (crochet hook) and found thiswonderful site, and also found that I chose he wrong method entirely!I have about 33 very thin dreads and my head looks like a grid. I'm new to all this and I justlooking forsome reassurence that the grid will fade and my dreads will fatten out i want big crazy messy dreads not neat little wormies! So hat can I expect to happen now that I solemnly swear I will never crochet the little guys/gals again? Is there anytghing I can do/use to spped the loosening up and to get rid of my grid head, I'm a wee bit embarrassed about it, I didn;t really expect my dread joureny to start with people being able to see the shape of my skull!! It may work for Lord Voldemort but personally I like a good hair coverage for my skull:)

Alos cananyone recommend what shampoo to use??. I've looked some up on this site but they are mainlybrands I don't recognise. I live in ruralEngland so any goodBritish brands out there?

Cheers folks!
