if your water is hard like mine than it's probably the acv more than the baking soda. leaves my hair slick and yucky. dr. bronners leaves me with a residue too. what about just going to a health food store and buying a natural shampoo. most are made with an aloe or other natural base and a bunch of different essential oils. just look for something that says clarifying or for oily hair. stay away from anything moisturizing. you could also try a natural bar soap. a lot of people like those. i personally can't use maylee's or any of the other bar soaps that others mention on here because they leave a waxy film in my hair. natural/organic shampoo has helped me a lot. you could also mix it with some baking soda for a deep clean.
almost ready to give up and shave my head. 2mos in and nothing...

oh and definitely ditch the coco castile bar soap. WAY to conditioning. really nice soap if your african american or anyone with course hair but too much for you.

your hair sounds a lot like mine. it took forever to start seeing some kind of knotting happening because of my silky soft hair. i'm a couple of weeks away from 6 months and just in the last month or so my hair has started to section off and knot on the ends. i tried a few t&r in the beginning but they just unraveled within a matter of hours. i do have 7 backcombed sections that are going crazy. the rest is natural/neglect. i don't even separate very much because i was doing it a bunch in the beginning and basically undoing any progress. your only a couple months in and i think you have a few more to go before you start seeing things happen. one thing thats helping me is finding a washing routine that dries out my hair a bit so i don't lose what progress i'm making.
i do 1/3 cup of baking soda in a 64oz. empty juice bottle. i add really hot water, put the lid on and shake. then i add a squirt or two of whatever shampoo i'm using at the moment into the bottle and shake again. i add the shampoo because i have an oily scalp and the baking soda alone doesn't help any. i do like the baking soda though because it dries out my hair a bit which is really helping keeping the sections together. we have really hard water so i can't use acv, bronners, etc because they leave me greasy.
i think if your already 2 months in then why not give it another 2 months or more. start playing around with different washing techniques and find one that works for you and your hair. don't do any separating for a while. i really think that if my hair can knot than anybodies can. before dreadlocks i didn't even own a brush! lol:)

yeah, in her latest video she said she doesn't wash it. i would think her scalp would be a bit grimy.
