knots in dreads

Dread Maintenance

i was twirling them and after a good 20 minutes i realiZed i was twirling a huge lump after a while soaringeagle said:

knots are not good like interlocking they can cause breakage can u takere a pic can they be untied how did twirling result in knots?

greasiness
wash 1 day later then u think u should use hot wash very cold rinse heat makes oils easier to remove and cold closes pores
and between washes use a thyme tea sprasyed on the scalp and left on
washing 1 day less till u get to once or twice a week will reduce oil since oils produced because u strip away oils by over washing

knots in dreads

Dread Maintenance

so ive had my dreads for about 3 weeks now and theyve been doing fairly well althought alot of them are really loose near the top and my hair gets greasy at time and etc but a new thing that got me alittle paranoid was that i got bored yesterday so i started twirling my locks and in the process of it without realizing i made 2 huge nots on 2 different dreads will this do anything negative to my hair since the knots (no lie) are very big there the length of about a quarter or so and are pretty fat lumpscan someone tell me if this is bad or not and can someone tell me any ideas on how to get rid of the greasyness in my hair and when my frizzyness will be alittle more tamed lolalso a question SG told me that i never got the chance to answer him was that i rip and twisted my hair without any real sectioning so i have alot of fat and skinny dreads

is it bad to wash dreads everyday O__o

Dread Maintenance

so i have had my dreads for about 12 days and i wash them all the time (i just wash it with water) so the frizziness and bed hair look alittle bit more tamed then they would by any chance though is it a bad thing also ive only washed my hair with soap twice and etc.another question i have is although they look alittle bit more tamed when i got them there still very loose especially at the roots is this a good thing also if its normal when do you think they will tighten up

my go at twist and rip need some help on a few questions

Dreading Methods

so i did twist and rip 4 days ago and in my honest opinion i like em so far its just i probably messed up on it for instance1. i can personaly tell that most of em are dreads its just so frizzy that it just looks like untamed hair2. in the process of making them some have unravelled and i have alot of unravelled loose hair near the scalp and they are just dreaded either in the middle of the hair or near the bottom3. is this a problem or will my hair get better in a month or two

Introduce Yourself

hey sg not that im in a hurry but since i started i grew a fascination with twirling my hair around with my finger and the way a piece of my hair is starting to form was by me twirling it and it got into a knot by accident is it possible if i play with my hair for some bit since i like to twist and twirl them that they can grow a bit faster (sorry if its a stupid question)also where do you buy tamsand will beads help in any way =) soaringeagle said:

so i had just found out my hair is kinda greasy

Introduce Yourself

SE you have any idea what i can get to wash my hair with??? and i was wondering i know this may sound gross but with neglect as well what can i wash my hair with or do i just let it be lol soaringeagle said:

yes greasy hair slows dreading but can be dealt with, 1st off wash less often wioth something that wont strip grease and oils , in between washes spray scalp with thyme tea
slowly it will become less greasy u casn also sray hair not scalp wwith sea salt sprays
