i swear by African Black soap! i use no other shampoo on my scalp and locs. i use this once a week on locs & body and rinse with water throughout the week. i use the shea butter mixed with vegetable glycerin, coconut oil & sweet almond oil. Only a little of each and only used as a moisturizer as needed.

I wash about every 3-4 days alternating between african black soap & bs wash. I do an herbal tea rinse everyday.
Keeping them dreads covered

I have to use a satin bonnet or silk pillowcase when I sleep or else I wake up with lint in all of my new dreddies. My locs are like a magnet for lint!
Is there anyway I can speed up the dreading process?

I've been doing lemon juice rinses and using lemon eccential oil in my daily spritz and this is helping my dreads lock fast. I do not use sea salt as it aggrevates my scalp like something terrible but the beach water is great.
