Thanks guys! I just have to use it until my condition improves- shouldn't be more than a week. And then no chemicals for me!
I've been dreading for 7 months and have chin-length dreads. I dyed my hair pink before the backcombing and have kept it pink by bleaching and dyeing since. The maintainence was becoming a bit much (bleaching every month and a half or so), so I decided to dye back to some semblance of my natural color and just let the dreads continue to grow unprocessed. However, I had a horrible reaction to the dye the stylist used (this was yesterday) and now have scabs on my scalp, an inflamed neck, etc. I have a ton of allergies, so this shouldn't have come as a surprise. Anyway, just got back from urgent care with oral steroids and a steroid foam shampoo that I'm supposed to use twice a day and rinse out. However, being that I wash my hair once or twice a week, I'm not sure how I can use this shampoo without growing mold. Any suggestions? Thanks!
It appears that she only uses castor oil in the regular (body) soaps, not the dread soaps. So could you just buy the dread soap and use it for your whole body? That's what I planned on doing.
I've used nothing but dreadheadhq, but recently went on the hunt for something else, as my scalp was super-dry and flaking (I cut down to washing once every 10 days or so with no improvement). Ordered some Maylee's and hopefully will receive it soon. Kinda concerned about the castor oil-fish link though.
