Paragraphs Please.

I agree entirely Knottysleeves said:

The endless quote replies bug me more!

Makes it difficult to follow what's being said and in reply to whom.

Paragraphs Please.

General Talk

I don't know how many of you out there find it extremely difficult to read large amounts of typing. These are the posts and replies with no subject breaks at all just line after line of sometimes good info in a form that many like myself find difficult to read.There is an easy rule which I follow on the most part and that is if your changing subject, it might be time for a new paragraph.So please next time you are typing away and you haven't hit that return key in a while just think of the poor folk like me who can't focus on what you have to say because personally I just give upthank you for reading -.

Nothing wrong with using white vinegar if you aint got the cash and the sea salt thing is completely unnecessary really. I really cant tell the difference between the results from the white vinegar and acv. I know that acv has more nutrients in it and vitamins but essentially its and acetic acid solution with dead bacteria floating around in it.Maybe you could use rice vinegar. Local produce? I don't know how many apple orchards making cider there are in Japan. Alden said:

I'm looking forward to seeing my hair mature over the next months, and hope to try the baking soda wash too...that may progress the locking.

With that Baking Soda wash, it's normally recommended that you use Apple Cider Vinegar as apposed to Distilled White Vinegar to rinse the baking soda out of your dreads (which I suggest mixing with water to make a paste and then mushing it into your dreads) as the ACV isn't as harsh on your hair as the White is, but, sense all three of you (PoopBrown, ST, and Laura) are just starting out your dreads, if you think that they are sturdy enough to stand up to the washing, then I'd say use the White Vinegar this one time, it'll dry your hair out considerably, so let it get a little greasy before hand, but with your hair that dry it'll speed up the locking process a little bit. But I'd also start misting your babies with Sea Salt water about once a week. It's best applied while your hair is wet, helps the salt soak in.

spelling matters!

Amazing I didn't think that this topic of discussion would ever come up. I would have brought it up myself but didn't think it was that important a subject to do so.I think it Ok for people to make mistakes when they type. Its different for everyone . I have a personality defect (so to speak) which causes me to proof read adverts in search of the funniest mistakes. I once worked in a shop where the manager would leave up notices which would be entertainment for me on the late shift.Smile:-)

Soap Making??

Dread Products

You need to a Base alkaline (lye) like Sodium Hydroxide for solid bar soap or potassium hydroxide for liquid soap a form of fat (like vegetable oil) Then you can add essential oils, oats, sea salt and colors as you wish. You can also make biodiesel with these ingredients but you will need to add methanol to the concoction. I am not sure of the process but Google is an amazing thing really.Ceramic of stainless steel to prepare the reaction.There is youtube videos that go through the process and that will give you the idea of the process.I do a recommend that you do take a training coarse to get more familiarized with the process or watch the videos and make a small batch.

Curly hair = Dreads?

Dreading Methods

Can we have a photo please?I dont think you need that much patience with you hair type and the length. Maybe you should leave your hair to dread naturally it wont take that long. Backcombing isn't actually going to make dreadlocks your hair does that bit for itself.

no more complaining about loose hair

He has a white beard and black hair. Is that real? Besides my miniscule doubt he seems like a really great guy, he has a nice family around him as well you couldn't ask for more realy

Brand New Dreads

Dread Maintenance

Maybe you could wait until a time where your lifestyle and circumstance is different. Seriously though have a good think about it. If you are going to be too stressed about the outside world and your hair then you will only make it worse.Are there even any school rules that govern hairstyles?There were at my school. (not good, too many rules)
