Dread Maintenance
Alright. Thanks a ton. Do you think now I should stop twisting all together? Not even with the locking gel from dreadlockshampoo's website?

That makes perfect sense, but doesn't the hair texture have any sort of affect at all? I have afro textured hair.
On my last two sets of dreads, my newgrowth especially in the back, started to basically mash into my dreads and it was just one big mess. Plus, I wasn't separating either. Even if I were to 'leave it alone' and separate and wash, the same thing would still occur. The neglect method doesn't work for me,and I'm so afraid of twisting,because I can't tell when it's too much. I read that if you twist and you feel a little sting,then it's too much or something. Palm rolling won't work either,especially since my dreads are new,and I love them so far. They're much better than first 2 sets. I don't want to mess up again.
I just redid my dreads for the 3rd damn time,and now I'm trying to retwist them,and I know you all are going to say 'Leave em alone', but sorry, that didn't work. Tried that on my first sets and it failed. I have to retwist them, but I'm really afraid to. I've tried the clips, aloe vera gel,and other things. I'm afraid of the thinning, and I dont even know what to do now. If I leave them alone, the newgrowth will just keep growing and ruin my dreads again.
That couldn't be more true. I went to the natural food store quite a few times,and they have all these shampoos that claim to be natural and what not, but when you try to read the ingredients.... you can tell it really isn't natural. Maybe 1 or 2 ingredients.

y cant u order online? what makes you call that a natural soap? do thoese ingredients sound natural? i see only 1 ingrediant thats at all natural
some products will say natural or organic if theres only 1 trace ammopunt of a natural or organic ingredient all the rest can be carcinogens toxins and even things that cause you to mutate into a monstor but cause theres 1 tiny drop of somethuing natural they call it natural and healthy
just cause the lanbel; says natural doesnt mean a thing the ingredients tell a diferent story
i doubt this will cause you to mutate and grow extra arms.. and it may or may not be dread safe )(
( heather or panterra woiuld know more about the ingredients)
im just pointing out that this dont sound very b=natural at all to me
