Shampoo: dreadlockshampoo.com They have multiple scents to pick from. I love the teatree bar. Plus they work in both hard and soft water.
Dr. Bornners is good, but only washes out in soft water.
But the BS/ACV wasg is my favorite. But again, it only works in soft or distilled water
lol. Whenever you get something new, the expectation is always to be able to enjoy it in it's fullest right away. But that's the beauty of locks. Even though, they come in the "some assembly required" state, the journey of assembling them and watching them change is part of the fun.
The combing and going is exactly what it should be doing in the beginning. Tangling also comes and goes. You won't see it tangle and stay there until you are a bit in.
It's different for everyone, though. Some see sectioning start in the first few days. Others don't see it for months. When you stat seeing sections stay, tangling is not far behind. But like I said, even that tangling will come undone and then tangle again and undone again before it starts to stay and progress forward only.
If your hair has gotten curlier than it used to be, that's a good sign. Curls will make it easier for hair to get wrapped around each other and build knots.
Gotcha. If it is still free to move around, and is not constricted at all, then you should be ok with that
Wrapping it up when it's wet can cause mold and mildew to grow. That's the bigger worry you should have. Wrapping locks up or tying them back will always delay the progress by a bit.
Right right. So you could probably get away with washing well with a strong BS wash, and forget the dawn. If you have nothing for the residue to get trapped in, then the BS should strip away any that is clinging to your hair follicles
Ok, cool. But you don't wash with it like you normally would wash your hair. Get yourself a big bowl, preferably a pot. Fill it with the warmest water you can keep your hands in for long periods. Squirt in a generous amount of the soap. Then 1 by 1, dip your locks into it and work the soap into them. Try to do it for about a minute each.
Then go ahead and do your normal wash. I'd do this each time before your normal wash for a couple of weeks to be sure it's all gone. it's a bit time consuming. But it's worth it to be sure residue is out.
How many times did you use it? Suave leaves residue behind. Even the anti residue stuff leave some behind. If you used it once or twice, multiple BS washes should get rid of it. But if you used it continuously, you might want to look into a residue removal session. Dawn Dish soap or the wax remover from dreadlockshampoo.com is great for it. But a lot of residue wont just wash out in your normal washes
What have you been using so far? Most normal shampoos leave a residue that might need to be removed
How often do you wash now, and with what? When they are forming, you want to wash more often than when they are mature. 2-3 times a week is great for baby locks. When mature, you can lower it to 1-2 times a week
