The beanie is one of these new hipster beanies that are pre-stretched out enough to fit your entire head down to your chin into (I have used it to carry bottles of popcorn kernals). I haven't used anything other than Neutrogena anti-residue and a half bar of Ivory (first two weeks, didn't know better). I also conditioned them once in the beginning, but at least it was organic. Either way I am 2 months and 11 days in so I guess I will see what happens this winter. I don't have to start worrying about jobs untilFebruary.

I wear a wool beanie if I wear a hat but Even tied back I have about an inch of nappy frizz sticking in every direction. I just need to know when I can look foreword to them getting better.

I live in florida and go swimming fairly often (be it salt or chlorine) and dreaded my hair 2 months and 4 days ago with twist and rip. I have notice progress come to s screeching halt lately. All that seems to be happening is they are getting stuck together and are almost completely flat. How much longer am I looking at before I could go without a hat to, say, a funeral or job interview?

Preventing residue, still using regular shampoo

Okay.

While I'm here, should I wash each dread individually or just rub the shampoo in at the base and work it down?

I am conditioning because I didn't realize I was buying conditioner because it didn't say on the bottle whether it was shampoo or conditioner and I would like to use the bottle until it is gone.

As far as diluting the neutrogena, why and what ratio?

Since is is really hard for me to get residue free shampoo here, would it be bad to wash with regular shampoo, condition with Renpure Organics (deeppenetratingreconstructorif it matters) and wash my hair every few days with Neutrogena Anti-residue? Or do you think it would be okay to use the neutrogena every day (every day that I wash that is)?

At 1 month and a half

Introduce Yourself

About where should I be? I started with twist and rip and have wavy hair. Any ideas when I can look foreward to tightening? Also, I bought a large enough beanie to hold all of my hair. Will it help tighten them to keep them in there?
