how to twist and rip?
Introduce Yourself
Okay, thanks a lot, ill check the video but I got one more quick question: how tight do you twist it to begin? Do you twist it around until the hair is stiff or just a few times to mix the hair up?

how to twist and rip?
Introduce Yourself
ive attempted the twist and rip method but it doesnt work too well. should i section a piece of hair off and twist it all the way up and then rip it and then twist and rip and twist and rip etc. or is there a better way to do it? thanks in advance

I hoping by next month I will start to see some good progress and then I might twist and rip. But with the bs/acv rinse, can I just mix it into a gallon jug for each and use it as needed when I shower or am I supposed to mix it up right before each shower?

Yeah, I was just looking things up because my hair isn't knotting up after a week, I know it might be too soon to tell but I know my hair is to short to dread being only two inches. And the baking soda and acv rinse seems like a lot of work for little hair that isn't even knotting up yet. I just thought the shampoo would be easier for now and maybe might work better with my hair. Idk, just expressing my thoughts

so i called my local beauty supply store and asked them if they carried residue free shampoo and they said they carried neutrogena residue free shampoo. is this shampoo good? im not sure if i should buy it or not. heres a link to what it is http://www.eskinstore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4625&idcategory=874

haha oh yeah, i messed that up, i had to do it three different times. but what youre saying is pour in the baking soda/acv and just let it soak, and then go under the water and just stand there and dont even touch my hair and let the water do all the work? then i get out and shake my head to get the excess water out and let it air dry. you gotta spoonfeed this shit to me

thats the thing though, this was my first day, my hair is only like two inches, i dont even have dreads. my hair is as straight as fabio's right now. so idk how to go about cleaning, rinsing, and drying, without slowing the process or messing it up in any way

ok sorry if this is a little long, but i woke up looking forward all day to get home and shower after work. the time comes and it just was awful. i poured the baking soda on my head about three different times before my whole head was covered, forgot the vinegar and the measuring cup on the other side a few times. basically at the end, my whole bathroom looks like an ocean. but thats not really the problem, cause thats just preperation. so for my problem, my hair is straight and im not sure how to wash it or rinse it with the acv. could someone post a video for me to show me the technique? before the dreads start to form should i just be grabbing my hair in clumps to squeeze out the baking soda? should i just let the water run through it and not even touch it? same thing for acv? and when i get out can i shake my head to dry it off or do i just leave it as is and let it dry after a while? im sorry if this seems like common sense but i am struggling. thanks everyone
