okay. sounds good. but as far as the routine of washing my hair would it make sense to wash every two days to keep my dreads tighter?

I had been using a non-residue shampoo, which probably wasn't completely non-residue because it was Suave, but yeah now I am only using the acv wash. I get about a tablespoon of bakingsoda and mix it in a large bowl, letting my hair sit in it and then pouring it through my hair. Then I use about two cap fulls of the apple cider vinegar and mix it in the same bowl with a pinch of baking soda and do the same thing. then just rinse by pouring cold water through my hair

What's good dreadlock community? my hair has been naturally dreading for some months now and basically all of my roots are locking up. I just started using an ACV wash and have been recommended to use it from once a week to twice a month, yet I feel that my dreads become looser when it has been over two or three days since washing them. Does this make sense? and has anyone had a case where it has helped their dreading process to be washing every two days or so?

its long enough to dread sure but tie back once dreaded probably not but..you see yourself with dreads u can tie back ok lets examine that
if u see yourself with dreads u are looking into the future, when you dread it takes time to dread and time to grow so yea someday you will have dreads you can tie back..but it wont be today..
your hair needs time to grow and to dread
both take a good while
so start dreading let it grow and eventually you'll be tying them back.

ok so dreads and length
3 inches u can backcomb into 1-1 1/2 inch stubs
4-5 inches u can twist and rip into 2 inch dreads
6 inches u can go natural and they will slowly shrink as they slowly grow and you';;ll have 3-4 inch maybe even 5 inch dreads by time theyre dreaded
no matter what way u dread u will not see any real growth for 8 months more likely you'll see shrinking
then it grows..and grows..and whoops where did my toes go
it has to start somewhere to get way down there

see mine began at 2 inches naturally
then one day could tie it up (not back, like a fountains of dreads off the top) then lil later tie in back then knot it all up in a ball bigger then my head to keep em off the ground..
when i began i pictured myself growin em till they wore off from dragging on the ground and thats where they are now..
but u see..it wasnt instant..it took time

so what u pictures there waiting to be boen but u gotta start with babied raise them right and nurture them to maturity 1st
