Yeah I'm looking for Dr.Bonners, but I haven't found it anywhere :/

I gotta check target next.

But....I think the Baking Soda is giving me dandruff as well....sometimes I wash with other things and I don't get any for like a day or two. I rinse my hair well too.

this might sound gross, but not washing your hair for a bit is a great moisturizer. I'm not saying don't shower, just instead of washing ever other day wash once, rinse the next time, then wash the time after that. I sometimes blend some pure shea butter into a cup of water and put that on my scalp.

I also don't use baking soda/ACV because it gives me crazy dandruff. You might want to consider a natural oil based handmade shampoo.

bummer...such a pain to wash ...I even feel baking soda leaves some residue behind no matter how long I rinse....

i tried doing acv after maylee's and it didn't work for me. still had a yucky residue. hard water sucks:(

Z said:

I suppose I could do a rinse with ACV after washing with Maylee's, right? That should get rid of any leftover residue, right? How about Neutrogena T-Sal? I've heard good things about that...

Introduce Yourself

What method is this?

Dreading Methods

i guess this discussion isn't over since my forum post... http://www.dreadlockssite.com/forum/topics/i-dont-get-it

definitely go for san diego. stay away from orange county. i've lived here all my life and i hate it. it's the land of rude, fake people. if i ever get out of here i'm going to move up north. oregon or washington preferably but northern california would even be better than here. just my opinion.

family says ill have to take dreads out sometime...

General Talk

i get the same thing from my daughter. every time she sees me she says the natural thing isn't working and to just get them done. frustrating but its not her hair. i'm not doing it for anyone else but me so you just have to ignore the comments and prove them wrong when they look beautiful a year from now:)
