I'm 32 years old and started with tnr and until last week was re-twisting and ripping after each wash. I FINALLY decided they're gonna dread how they want to and me messing with them, other than a lil seperation mantainence, only hinders their progress.A lot if them are smaller than I would like but have good locking 1 to 1 1/2in at the roots then just straight soft hair for the remainder of the length.I have dyed my hair with henna with no ill results. It's just strange how my mom won't touch my hair and my dad prefers me to keep it up. My KIDS on the other hand (3 girls 7, 9 & 11) LOVE them and like to find the ones with S-curves and loops so they can name them.I can't say I ALWAYS happy and never get frustrated with my locks but over-all I feel freer and am enjoying the ride!Devon

if you dont want to use baking soda, the dread locking shampoo works wonders. its vegan and has rosemary in it to help with flaky scalp and tea tree to help keep the scalp healthy. i just recently purchased it but everyone here that has will surely tell you its lovely.

Stupid tablet...I've only had it cleaned up twice since then. I forgot to mention that I am a trucker so I am only able to wash my hair every 3 to 5 days.Really hoping dreading eventually helps with the length of my hair.Am going to go shower now and stop combing, I really like the idea of letting my hair decidethe sections so i'm not forcing it how it's not naturally going then cultivating

As you can see from my pic I have short, straight-ish hair. What you can't see is that it is fine but I have a TON of it. My current hair growth is from shaving it Christmas 2010 with only to clean ups since. So it grows SLOWLY. I am thinking the twist and rip method would be best for me but need info onpreparation. I have a skin allergy to aloe.(really sucks) so thinking baking soda concoction for cleaning
