two words: hard water. if you want to use bs then you'll have to mix it up using distilled or purified water. you can still rinse with your regular water. the minerals and such make it impossible for bs to completely desolve. i've even tried boiling it on my stove and it just creates a cloudy water. if i boil bs with purified water it comes out completely clear in seconds.
dr. bronners is a castile soap. castile soaps and hard water are not friends. i have a stain on my drive way to prove it. it will leave you with a terrible residue thats hard to get rid off. definitely try some organic/natural shampoos.
yeah, that and they also pull on my scalp when they start to knot up. not good when you already get migraines.the thicker ones don't seem to do that as much.
now i just need to figure out how to do the wrap. i've seen people do a sort of x pattern down the length of the dread and i would like to do it that way instead of wrapping the whole thing.

one thing you can do!!If you happen to have a loose hair tool/dread tool, you can use it to pull loose hair from one into the other as well which will help hold them together., I wouldn;t recommendelastic/rubber band at the roots, to snug tight.. your hair wiil break.. blessing.
