well i did the alcohol soaking earlier today, just got done drying my hair.. i didnt do the vinegar after the 70 percent alcohol though since there was people waiting to get in the bathroom lol.. i just washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner after.. definitely seen lice in the water after, so thats good.. whats the point of the vinegar again? to re-moisturise my hair?.. i used the whole bottle of 70 percent alcohol so thats not good, i dont know how im gonna do it again in 3 days.. and thanks for the compliment naturalwomyn :D

yeah i couldnt get to it today, i had things to do.. but im doing it tomorrow morning for sure!!.. at the root of my dreads.. theres 2 deads in the back of my head that are reeeeally thin at the root.. im guessing its definitely from scratching in the same spot so much? makes me sad cause it feels like i could just if it a hard tug and rip them both out since they are so thin at the root of my hair.. cause from thin into a normal sided dread :/.. not cool.. but ill definitely let you guys know whats up when i do it tomorrow.. are you 100 percent sure this wont like, make my hair fall out or something?? lol.. and im not really african american haha.. im half black and white.. moms black, dads white, haha..
