aloe is fine just use that be sure u get only 100% pure aloe vera gel; from as health food store sold as a drink or food supliment the only incgrediant aloe and it should be in the refridgerator

if not go to a garden center buy a plant but make sure its aloe VERA as other aloe varierties can be toxic or cause severe skin reac tions ..u just want plasin old aloe vera if u get a plany get the biggest u can, take 1 large leaf cut it off split it the long way scrape out the gel inside the leraf

the dreadheadhq and knottyboy shampoos are ok..nit great but they are harmless mostly (except to the envoronment that is) they are the only things those companies do semi well but cause they push wax so hard id boycott them if theyre soaps were the only 1's that worked.

dr bronners 19 in 1 magic soap when diluter 12 times more water then soap is good in most ppl's haoir but with some water types may not rinse well
but is the most environmentaly freindly soap of all (besides the bakingh soda that is)

baking soda ..superiour to all soaps or shampoos but u may miss lathering so ..alternate if u want..
personaly its all i use anymore


lush bars..many ppl love em they smell nice do a decent job, but still contain sls which has been a health concern , possible cancer link and is in many of not most sudsing soaps (not dr bronners) because sls is in so many things u might want to avoid adding more..


nutragena daily clarifying ..suitable especialy for "prep" since it not only is no residue (i think) but strips away built up residues. it can be used a few times to restore hair to untreatted natural state then switch to something else..its not that natural, may contain sls (i dunno foir sure tho) not as environmentaly freindly
so u might wanna just try a small bottle for a week or 2 then switch..


most who try the baking soda never use any shampoo again..its that good

u gotta start somewhere.. and dreads will get shorter before getting longer that cant be avoided. but when they do start to grow theres nothing that will slow the growth like trimming does so they just grow on and on..


if you go natural, the shrinkage and growth tend to almost cancle eachother out or at least be less extreme so it will instead be a period of zero or slow growth before it starts to grow

the sooner u start the quicker u get to the growth stage
shorther hair tends to shrink less too so u get there faster or at least with less length loss

Oh I understand!!! But, I don't want my dreads that to small or too big..
