Washing, Locking

Dread Maintenance

Will washing your dreads less frequently help them lock faster? i dunno how to describe my dreads, i keep backcombing mine cause basically they're like a big ass matted root and then some of the actually dreads are matted then its like regular seperated hair, but ive had them since may and i dont use wax and i only use dr bronners castille soap to wash them.. just wonderin ahaha

today two girls asked me if i was dreading, and i said yes. just the fact that they noticed was so refreshing and they were so nice about it! things are gettin better yall, thanks for the encouraging words from everyone!! new dreddie said:

hEY,
cool dreads!
Sorry that you had a bad day. Don't worry about what people say about your hair---it is your hair and you can style in any manner!!! Always remember to love yourself and ignore the naysayers!!! The only thing that matters is that you love your hair!!!!!

today was so much better. most of the comments were the same but i just felt so much more empowered, realizing how stupid they sounded. one person asked me where my dreads were, i took my hair out of the ponytail and showed him and he said "what, these are not dreads" and i said, really? you should touch the next white girls hair you see, then touch mine, then let me know what you think" he did and he was like OH SHIT. sorry i mean i wasnt comparing it to regular hair, just to dreads. it made me feel so much better! people have such pre conceived ideas about dreads they dont even know what they look like to begin with they just "magically happen"

thank you everyone, i can come into school tomorrow with a whole new air. i've always been proud of my dreads but its been a tough journey, i really appreciate your advice. i hope other new dreadheads read this too!<3 i cant wait to show people that i dont care about the stupid remarks they make just because they are ill informed about dreads.

so...has anyone ever had the problem of people making fun of your attempt at dreads? 1st day of school today...i got a load of shit from everyone. i also got the YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHAVE YOUR HEAD shit and the what? those are NOT dreads. fail. shit. ive had my dreads since may but my hairs so thin its been taking awhile to dread. i thought i had reached the point in my dread journey where i was in complete acceptance of how my hair looked and didnt care what people thought of me, but today proved me wrong.

I just made my dreads about two days ago and they are just so waxy and falling apart, can i start using this mixture now to help them dry out and start locking faster or should i wait until after i wash them for the first time?
