thank you guys so much, i actually just finished taking them out, i just freaked out a little and didnt want to ruin my hair, but that is great advice i will diffinently do that. im putting my dreads back in when i get me and her treated.
so i started my dreads on march 29th. they were just a month old. and sunday i had to take them out
i was very upset and still am. im pretty emotional about it. even though they all have not been removed yet. ive been workin on them for about 4 days and still have half a head of dreads to remove.
the reason i have to remove my precious babies is because my daughter keeps getting lice from the daycare center she goes to and i work at. and i thought i wouldnt get it. i cleaned my entire house, ive vaccumed everything, washed all clothes, go through her hair every night and etc. but for some reasin she keeps gettin it and im extremely aggravated with this place. but i found a bug crawling on one of them and didnt know if it just got there or if it had been there a while so im taking them out just to make shure.
Questions: i have some questions because my scalp is being tortured by my taking them out. number one, is it better to use conditioner and hot water? number two, ive been taking them out while they are dry and i feel like im losing more hair that way, am i? and number three, is there an easier way to take them out with out it hurting so much? last but not least number four, how long should i wait to redo them? because i loved them dearly and i cry with every one i am taking out they were like children to me. i treated them with so much love and did my best to take good care of them. my daughters loved them two. ( i have a three yr old and a one yr old) my kids would play with them and it was cute.
anyways thats my story and my questions. i appreciate any and all answers or questions.
i work in a daycare, and i just dreaded mine a week or two ago. one of my directors thought i was crazy and askedwat i was doing to my hair, i explained the whole process, the washing the cleanlinessand every feeling i had about them(absolutly love them, i feel beautiful with them)the other said she would have to look into if it was part of dress code. i got nervous because i didnt want to remove them. i didnt hear nothing else till today when i walked in and all they said was make shure i tie my hair up. i smiled so big. i was stoked that i didnt have to remove them or lose my job. and alot of my coworkers think they are pretty cool so do some of the parents. so that just adds on to awesomeness and the excitement of having them in a different environment.
hi, so i was wondering how much water to use with the baking soda and the oils if my dreads are only a week old, also is it ok if i dont use all the oils because i cant really afford it. at the moment.
