definitely NO rubber bands. those hinder the locking process, dreads need freedom and movement to knot, rubber bands prohibit movement. they can also, if left in, melt and mold into the dread becoming one with the dread, and ull never be able to get it out. rubber bands are bad for dreads. u got your dreads in on monday? i would just wash with baking soda and acv rinse every monday. ur hair will get used to the routine and your scalp will start producing less oils. it may seem like they take a step backward when u wash em but they really dont, they re just knotting up and doing what dreads do. dont panic when u wash its normal for them to seem "looser" its all part of the process

o and wash em, i would wash mine a couple times a week or just once a week. clean hair dreads up much better and faster, i love the baking soda wash with apple cider vinegar rinse. it works wonders.

yeah for sure there in already right? all twist and rip and backcombing is, is just a way to start them off. now all u gotta do is separate the dreads by ripping them apart when they start to grow together so u dont get a beavertail (mono dread). if they appear to be loosening up dont be afraid that s what they do. they will knot themselves without any help from u, they ll just be adjusting themselves and knotting up. it takes time but just enjoy the process and love the journey. if u want long lasting great awesome locks then dont maintain them. good luck
