well i did the bs/acv thing for a while didn't work
then switched to dr bronner's but made it even more oily
so i've since switched back to bs with no acv wash (ur suggestion)
i guess i should get some sea salt
i do the air drying
and i just started sleeping on a wool sweater this week
should i increase my washing?

some of you may have seen my other threads and know my problem by now... i've been trying to grow dreads the natural way since the summer and so far nothing
my hair is just way too soft
i have long wavy hair
a friend recommended i wash my hair more often in an attempt to dry it out... she suggest twice a day! but i'm not sure about that
but at this point i don't know what more to do... i've been doing the once or twice a week thing for a while now and no results.

also how do i know what kind of water i have? what is the difference between hard & soft water?
i think i'll give just the BS wash a try tomorrow, no acv.

yeah it feels a little oily i think.
i try not to touch it much but obviously when i go to tie it i am messing with it.
no sea salt sprays or wool and what is a tam lol
no beads either.
when i was using the baking soda/acv wash i just poured the mixture of over my head and then put my hands on top of my hand to wash it out. with the soap i've been rubbing it in maybe i shouldn't do that?
i let it air dry after i get out of the shower.

been trying to grow dreads the natural way since the summer now and i'm still not seeing any progress... i think my hair is too soft
i was doing the baking soda/acv wash for a while... recently i switched to dr bronner's at the advice of a friend but i don't think it is working... my hair feels even softer now. idk what to do
should i get somebody to tie/braid my hair or something?
also at work i have to tie my hair up in a ponytail/bun... is this bad for the dreading process?
