Iain said: reminds me of my friend's cousin, he started at about the same length, It's cool to see how they grow out, but it's looking like pretty good!
i moved this to journals and timelines
update every couple weeks
Alright man, good luck. I'm gonna go work out. Take it easy.
Joel Reyes said:Thanks! Will do, I'll try to start one tomorrow
Makarov said:Washing your hair with the right soap is probably one of the most important and main things to get dreadlocks so yeah, definitely use the right stuff. Good luck. You should make a timeline as well so we can see your progress, I made one yesterday.
Joel Reyes said:I'll try to find one of those two to wash my hair. Awesome info
Makarov said:That sounds good but yes washing without the cap IF you scrub your scalp right will help it lock up, it won't look like it's helping but over time it will. I massage my scalp with the tips of my fingers and I ball my fist up and scrub it gently, both of those methods seem to work although if your hair is short or isn't naturally dreading on it's own yet then it might seem like it's not working. Dreadlocks are very different type of hairstyle so it's very unique for all of us but your hair will definitely end up dreading and it helps if you try to ignore it. What do you use to wash your hair? Dr. Bronners or SE's baking soda mix works the best. Regular namebrand shampoos and conditioners can really slow down or completely stop the dreading process.
Joel Reyes said:Great tips Iain! I'm going to buy an anti residue shampoo soon. I just wet my hair today (only rinsed) so I'm going to wait about 3-4 days for my first real wash. Then I'll go to washing about 2wice a week.
