Dread Maintenance

What is T-Gel? I rinse my hair with acv (after washing it with bc) and the flakeyness is still there. So I guess once I find out what T-Gel isI will start using that...

Acv has solved a lot of my life's problems, but sometimes super flakey-ness calls for some T-Gel. I'd see if an acv rinse fixes it and if not, T-Gel time. xD

Ive been using tea tree oil and lavender oil with my baking soda wash for the last 6 months. My scalp isnt itchy; but i still have dandruff. Is there anything i can include in my wash to get rid of it?

Thanks for the reply peoples...I want to keep my dreads for aslong as I can, so i guess i will just have to let the dreads do what they want

I wanted my dreads straight and boring.

My dreads were backcombed and i havent done any maintainance at the roots since ive had them. The only work ive done on my hair is just to keep the tips blunt and thats all.

So theres no way to making them continue to grow straight? kink free?

Dread Maintenance

Hi all,

Ive had my dreads now for abit over 3 months and I am in love with all 52 of them. They are really starting to take shape but i need abit of advice to continue to make them look great. Some of my dreads on the back of my head are dreading a big kink at the roots.

Will this affect the straightness of my dreads when they get longer? Has anyone else had this problem? Should I be concerned? Or will they eventually sort themselves out? Any advice would be great..
