I feel like my natural dreads are at such a blah stage. A few questions.

General Questions

mine look basicly the same as yours do. Just a bit of advice about separating, keep up on it. i went about 3 months without and had 4 come together in 1 spot and 2 or 3 in another. It is really painful to separate when the join at the roots and you have to yank those suckers apart. the small ones are easy. i still have 2 joined at the root that i haven't split up yet because i'm not looking forward to it.

IF YOUR IN CALIFORNIA GO VOTE YES ON PROP 19 LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

General Talk

dont use it, don't think it's right to use but i voted yes because people use it anyway so why not unburdon the prisons/jails etc for something that is way less harmfull than cigarettes or alchohol

seroiusness about soda in my dreads!!!

songs about rape and brutal murder are the same as star trek and lord of the rings?

shampoo

Dread Maintenance

so i got a bottle of that dreadhead shampoo because it was really one of the only ones i could find available at the time. it's a bit pricey and i'm not satisfied with it..doesn't seem to really get the oil from my scalp very well. anyway, browsing more dread shampoos and none seem to appeal to me. i hear people talking about a vinegar and baking soda mixture. Can anyone give me the mixture? don't want anything in there except those if it can be helped..not a fan of wierd oils etc. in my hairthanks

loops and strays

Dread Maintenance

didn't use any wax, i just didn't want the loops to stuck out there permanantly. the stray hairs bother me because they don't stay in a ponytail and are always getting in my face, which really bothers me

loops and strays

Dread Maintenance

I am about 2/3 months into the dreading process and need some help. first is with these "loops" forming on about 5 dreads. i call them loops but it almost seems like a portion of the dread is trying to escape. at first i would just rub the offender against my palm for a bit and it would settle in for awhile. But now that they are starting to get a little tighter, that isn't working. any advice to get these suckers back in there?Second problem, i have quite a few strays in the front above each of my temples and a few in the back at the bottom. I was thinking of crocheting them in but firstly my dreads aren't mature so i don't want to pull out more hairs in the process. Secondly my hair is pretty long (down below my shoulder blades) so that's alot of crocheting....
