i wouldn't worry too much. with your hair texture and all the swimming you'll be doing your hair will probably dread right up. just leave it alone.

a good idea is to wet your hair in clean water before going into a pool, etc so your hair will be less likely to soak upchlorineor yucky other stuff. swimmer do that.

Loc Lava said:Yeah it is really hard to find large hole beads when the locs get so thick. Some macrame beads work. I have some bone beads with larger holes, not as large as fingers though. pm me if you want some pics.

yeah, i can't do the bs/acv wash either. it leaves my hair feeling unclean and the acv makes my hair too soft. here's what i do and it works really well for me and my stupid hard water. get yourself a squeeze bottle (from a beauty supply store or maybe even walmart). my bottle holds 12 oz. I fill it to about an inch from the top with water then i add 1 tbs. of bs and a squirt of my shampoo. put the cap on and shake. the bottle i have has has a long nozzle on the end which helps me to directly squirt the mixture on my scalp. you don't really have to do the bs but i do it because it drys my hair out a bit which is giving it more grip for knotting. once i have more established locks i will probably just do the shampoo/ water mix. hth:)

if dr. bronners bar soap leaves your hair feeling gross then chances are that all the natural soaps will do the same. you probably have hard water. i do and it makes it very hard to use any natural products because the minerals and crap in the water cause a coating of sorts that doesn't mix well with the oils in the soaps. just find a good shampoo without a lot of crap in it. eyeheartchrist has used quite a few different shampoos through his locking. prell is one of them which is easy to find at any walmart, etc. i personally don't like the smell of prell but others do so you might give it a shot. my absolute favorite shampoo (after trying a ton of them) is desert essence lemon tea tree shampoo for oily hair. you can find it at health food stores like whole foods, sprouts, henry's, etc. it cleans my scalp really well and gets my hair squeaky clean. hth:)

here's the shampoo...
it say "conditioning shampoo" so i would think it wouldn't be good when your just starting out. eyeheartchrist has had locks for almost 4 years so his hair wouldn't be as affected by the conditioning.
What do you wear...to bed? ;)~

i wore my wool tam to bed for the first 5-6 months but now i don't put anything over them. it helped in the beginning but when i started locking up more i was getting weird bumps and twists in my hair from the tam rubbing in one place too much. you could do a wool sweater over your pillow too but i have sensitive skin and woke up to a rash on my face when i did it.
