I dyed my dreads!
General Talk
I love it! my hair is so dark that i could not achieve colored dreads without bleaching them first...and i won't do that. but your hair color is perfect for it. is the color permanent or temporary?
Salt is drying. If left on the scalp it can dry it and can cause flakes. The major concern is that in the long run it can contribute to brittleness of the hair causing it to have split ends and in a worse case scenario cause breakage of the hair. This breakage can potentially lead to dread loss....but it would have to be severe abuse of the salt. Because of the concern most people spray it on the hair (avoiding the scalp) and leave it on a few hours before washing. I don't use it often anymore. In the first year i would spray it lightly on my hair the night before i washed it. I have personally never had any problems with it. My hair is not brittle. So use it...just don't over do it.
