i see in some of your early pics that you have some little beads below a bigger bead. how did you get them in your hair and more importantly how did you get them out when you started knotting? i think i may need to do something like this just to keep beads in but i don't want them getting stuck.
thanks!

yes i agree. beads do help. i did wear a wool hat for like the first three months too but then stopped. a hat usually gets on my nerves, i like for my dreads to be free.

i use dr bronners lavender. but delude it majorly. salt water rinse with tea tree also.. =]
and i can see so much sectioning going on in your pictures. Yours are going to be wonderful !!!! I admire you for your patience....i am one of those people that have to get a boost. Mature dreads don't wanna be dry...but baby dreads need to stay away from the oil. Oil is your enemy right now...it will undo those pretty sections. Stick with the bs use that luxurious soap on your skin.
I think the oil would hinder your dreading process
I have never tried it. I would use it on my body but it contains way too much oil to use on my dreads. My dreads are only a couple years old and my hair is not real dry or brittle. All that oil is very moisturizing and very good for your skin....but do you really need or want that much oil in your hair?
