Yep, and how long are you keeping the baking soda wash on your scalp for?

When I said wash with BS or shampoo, I did mean a dreadlock shampoo or bar. ...Peace

As long as you clean the hair with shampoo or BS 2-3 times a week, then sure, it is okay to wet it as often as you want, but just make sure it dries completely each time in between getting wet so that mold does not set in. Peace

Undreaded section at front of head, what to do with it?

Dread Maintenance

That is a typical problem. It is cause by the natural oils we build up throughout the face and hairline. I still have undreaded sections around my forehead hairline and right above my ears. I know it is from my naturally oily skin type. Try to pay attention to that area more and wash it a few times a day to remove the body oils, this might speed up the dreading process there for you. . Doing T&R there might not do anything, all my sections were done that way and the oils just condition the hair there and the knots slip out. Peace

My BS/ACV experience, (for those who suffer from dandruff). I also need some advice

Dread Maintenance

Yep, try not to keep on the ACV for more than one minute, you can rinse it out just about right away. Peace

My BS/ACV experience, (for those who suffer from dandruff). I also need some advice

Dread Maintenance

Hi there. If your scalp wants to be scrubbed with your fingertips, then go for it. Things don't always work the same for everyone. I do recommend that you cut down to 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar for your length hair. Also, when you have essential oils in the ACV, you don't always rinse it out right away. ACV is a conditioner and should only be on for a minute at most. Over conditioned hair can allow any forming knots to slip out. Be patient, let your sections be, dreads usually like to start forming in 6"hair length or more. So try changing that and see how it goes. Finish off your shower with a cold head rinse, as cold as you can do take, that will help with your dandruff & feel real good.

Peace

Is this much excitement normal?

Introduce Yourself

I will answer the title of your post..."Is This Normal?".....I bet that 100% of us celebrated our first year anniversary of our dreads, and you will too. I have never did that with any other 'style' before, but I did with my dreads....Is it normal?.....Damn straight it is, these are our growing babies and we celebrate and get excited for so many of their changes and growth. Rock on and enjoy your journey
