washing and some really fine hair

Dread Maintenance

try using neutrogena anti-residue shampoo. it makes my hair really nappy, and if you use it a couple times, pretty frequently & close together, it might help get some wax out.

just be excited about them no matter what kind of remark you get. that always seems to discourage any negative words about my babies ;D

To rip or not to rip... Congoing dreadies??

Dread Maintenance

i'm consciously letting a few of mine congo when i feel like they should be friends, but i'm staying on top of them to make sure they're not eating too many babies. mine are 5 months so they're still not mature. as long as you keep checking on them it should be fine =) personally i like how dreads look with varied sizes

Natural dreads, at one month.

Dreading Methods

yes, sea salt! and patience. but once it gets started the progress will amaze you =)

Short hair dreading

General Questions

hm... could have something to do with the amount of oil in your hair? since your hair is shorter the natural oil from your scalp has an easier time saturating the hair. perhaps if you washed it more often with something that dries it out a bit, that might help. neutrogena anti-residue shampoo makes my hair super nappy =)

yes, it would be great for older locks. many people on this site who have mature dreadies swear by it. you could probably find it at your typical mall african store, that's where i got mine. it's also available on the internet. just make just it looks like a hunk of something nasty, don't buy the kind in the bar because that has unnatural things in it. it should look like crap almost and smell sorta like cardboard. but when it lathers up it smells really nice!

black soap is made from the ashes of a certain type of tree, i can't remember which. but it doesn't have any saponifying agents in it. it's not good for my baby locks because it's so conditioning, so i don't use it on my hair anymore. i used to use it on my face and it worked WONDERS but i've since switched to another type of natural soap for my face haha. i only use dr b's for the rest of me.

i'm not too into the rasta thing either, but that is a very beautiful image =)

i completely agree! i hadn't heard anything about the sixth sense theory involving dreads and the nervous system, but i can honestly say having heard of someone else having similar experiences is startling. i have been feeling many 'vibes' is the most loose term i can place them under. and i wouldn't go so far as to say prophetic, but very interestingly formatted dreams that line up with real life experiences after said dreams in a strange/thought invoking way..
