Help me get my mind stright.
Dreadlocks Journey Emotional Support
Have you tried using the bars from Dreadlockshampoo? I'm not sure why, but my progress started speeding up once I started using the bars instead of the liquid. You could at the very least try it. :D My progress has been pretty slow myself, so I understand how that feels.. IT has been almost 2 years now, and my hair looks like some people's who have been locking for only 3 or 4 months... Everyone is different.. But yeah, I recommend trying the bars.. Dragon's Blood is my favorite.. :D (not necessarily just scent wise, but also the way it lathers and washes.)
White in My Dread?

wait.. This is kind of similar to what is going on with my hair, it seems.. Not really sure though.
Hmm.. Residue, or something else?

I think ima try some blue dawn dish soap.. See how that works.. I would generally prefer to use something more natural / a more natural method but I just don't know.. I feel like dawn isn't something that would undo a whole lot of progress, and would do well at getting residue out.

I think I might try a bs/acv rinse.. Or something... lol.

Isn't there some type of white vinegar residue cleansing rinse?

I've heard people say that they've had their hair turn that lighter white color from over using baking soda. For me personally it was really drying and now I'm faithful the dreadlockshampoo too. I have noticed that of all the different scents I've tried that 1 (Patchouli) leaves a build up over time (about a month)...of course it's my favorite. It's sticky for me though and not light in color. I use Pantene Clarifying and I think it works great. Before I found that 1 I was suggested to try the blue Dawn dish soap and that really stripped it...frizzed it and tangled it good too. I wish you luck in getting it out

I think I've decided that it is some type of residue.. Now I'm just trying to find/decide on a good cleanse.

I've noticed recently that certain parts of my hair are much lighter/grayish.. These parts aren't sticky, and when I rub on them, it seems that nothing comes off.. It doesn't seem like a typical residue, as the actual color of the hair seems to be different.. When I look at the locks I actually have forming though, the lighter hairs almost make it look as if they are being bound by some type of residue. Not really sure what is going on, and I will try and post some pics, but has anyone had any similar experiences? It is kind of hard for me to explain, so I know posting some pics would definitely help.. But yeah, actual strands of hair seem to be much lighter/grayish but the gray color won't rub off, and the hairs aren't particularly sticky.. I would think that if it was gray hair that they would be gray from the root, but they are not.. And my actual locks I have that also have these hairs in them, within the lock it gives the look of it being residue related.. But I'm not sure. I use the Dreadlockshampoo bars at the moment.
