Beads!!!!!!
Dread Maintenance
I have close to 40beads that I leave in, they are loose enough that I slide them up and down. So they are not constantly in one spot. Every few months I change them out, switching to new beads or bigger sizesand/or to other dreads.When sleepingI generally have my locks above my head, or in a pony tail, so the beads don't make sleep uncomfortable. I don't too much like to sleep with a wrap, but occasionaly I will and with all my locks together it leaves enough cushionI rarely feel the beads. Best way to clean the beads would be to soak them in alcohol.
