sensitive scalp problem?


Dreads Hair and Scalp Health

Is your hair parted to one side or the other? I have had this problem since before I began my journey, like when you wear your hair in a ponytail all day then take it out at the end of the day its kind of tender. It could just be from your hair distributing its weight and pressure on your scalp differently, my hair naturally parts to the side and when I move it from where it was laying all day its a little tender, hopefully this helps sweetie!! I hope you figure it out if not!!

Discouraged :/


Introduce Yourself

The first comment I got when my hair had just hit the oh soo frizzy stage was from my aunt and she said "my good lord child did you just roll out of bed from a three day nap" so I laughed and explained that no, I was growing dreadlocks. She looked at me for a second and said, "aw you would be beautiful if you wore a skunk on your head" my mother on the other hand was not so supportive, and my botfriend refers to me as "his sexy dreaddy lioness" which is totally flattering considering I am a leo lol. My point is, you will have people who support you or judge you for as long as you walk this earth honey, there will always be a little shine, and the more you shine from inside, the more you will find in the world!! Much love and stay strong sister, be yourself always and you will be loved!!

Thank you so much, and it may also be my hair texture cause it works great on my boyfriends hair and we use the same shower.

I am app. 7 weeks in and they are looking great, im so proud of them. After our discussion from our last post I decided to go with what has been proven to be good for my locks, so I purchased a bar of Dr. BRONNERS LAVENDER SOAP, I only wash my hair every three to five days depending on how oily it becomes during the waiting period. The first time I used it, my hair looked, smelled, and felt fabulous, but the ast couple of time I have used it no matter how much I rinse my hair, the ends feel quite literally sticky as if I sprayed sugar water on them.... Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone ever used or heard of using Miracle 2000 to wash their dreads???


Dread Maintenance

I just wanted to know if anyone had used or heard of using it, not a complete break down of its alchemical ingredients written in the most patronizing vernacular i have ever seen in an innocent discussion.. thank you. i consider this discussion closed from this day forward.

The "Energized stabilized oxygenated water" proprietary ingredient is, as you mention knottysleeves, scammy. It's also referred to as "ionized" water or "alkaline" water or many other things people call it. The fact is that all water is always oxygenated and energy stabilized. Water cannot be stabilized more than it already is, and it mixes with many different molecules so this terminology they use is just to capitalize on people's ignorance of the properties of water. They may have pushed a very faint electrical current through the water so they can call it this, or even stirred the water with a magnet wand, but it doesn't actually change the water properties.
I don't doubt that this product seems to work for cleaning things and is mostly naturally occurring ingredients, but they probably charge a lot more for it because of the magic water they put in it, when you can probably make the same thing at home using natural ingredients.
Essentially it has water (made magic with magnets or electricity!), coconut oil fatty acid used to keep products from separating and is technically a sulfate, calcium, potassium, magnesium. It's no miracle, but it definitely helps the people who make it make money!
You can clean anything in your house or camping with natural stuff, and it would be safer than this biodegradable cleanser. Though they say it's safe for nature, a sulfate and calcium, potassium and magnesium in high quantities than found naturally occurring in soil (which would be in this soap) will kill plants. Don't believe me? Try watering your garden with it, everything will die. The only natural soap that won't kill plants is found in yucca, quinoa and soapwort, soapnut, horse chestnut, ginseng, yucca and a natural coating on the seeds of quinoa. It wont foam up as much as soap as youre familiar with it, but if you use the greywater to irrigate your plants they wont die. To me, thats what I want from a natural product.

it's meant to be diluted, and i got the same vibe from the dr. bronners site that you did from the miracle 2 site, i mean, glycerin is bad for dreads right????? They leave the glycerin in there soaps, how can that possibly be good???? anyway, i suppose this is the perfect opportunity to point out that everyone has an opinion, and everyone is entitled to it, im just one person who respects it. no hard feelings :)

The ingredients list kinda scares me. "Energized stabilized oxygenated water"??? What does that even mean? It looks scary too, that thick green liquid.

Looking through their website, I gotta say it looks like one of those scam "holistic miracle" type products. Ick.

looks weird to me i mean it says the main cleaning ingredient is dust?
and has that weird chemical ingredient that then says substitute name for propriateary ingrediernt meanning they are not telling u whats really in it

im not sure id trust it for anything
compare that to the ingredients in bronners which are all just herbal oils
id stick to bronners
the miracle crap nowhere does it say biodegradable or all natural..i would never ever ever use it while camping..its not environmentally safe
even bronners being the most biodegradable soap on earth is not safe to use in water u gotta wash with ot 300 feet from water cause it only biodegrades fast in soil..in water it can take i think like 180 years
