bangs always dread slowest and always have the most loose hairs
partially from pushing it out of your eyes but also because hairline hairs thinner, finer and more oily (from your hands)
plus in your other post you said you wore headbands a lot...that will do it
stop that and you won't need the gel
if anything the sea salt spray
the gel does work though so its up to you ..just saying that its pretty typical what you got going on and changing habits should be all you need

Combatting mold in wet climates?
Dread Maintenance
when you use it, you can use an entire bottle, squeeze it in really saturate them.. its not a shampoo its a treatment so let it stay in them 10 minutes
use as much as you need to really saturate them to the core
even a whole bottle at once rinses out with ease
but the key is to get them saturated to the core and leave it in 10 minutes or even longer
that was 1 use should be all you need
but it is magically delicious huh

just stop messing with it and give it a chance to dread on its own
be patient
its a lot less painful that way

ok its the liquid, not bar then?
yes you can do it that way, i put like a quarter sized blob on each section making sure the hairs good and wet 1st
if you wet then section then apply shampoo and rub it in you'll get plenty of lather
if needed give it a lil sprinkle to wet it a lill more to get more lather

are you talking about dr bronners? only use that if you do not have hard water
but if your water is safe for bronners, then dilute it 12 times more water then soap
you do not need a lot of foam! the main ingredient in most shampoos that makes it foam is sls..toxic, skin irritant, carcinogen..etc
pour some on your head, (or did you get the bar?)
use fingertips to rub it in and rinse
try doing your head in quadrants (how i do it) like front left, rinse, front right, rinse back left rinse back right rinse
then rinse everything ..alot
i rinse and rinse and rinse some more
whats the exact shampoo u use

just separate the back so it doesn't form huge dreads
looks good so far though
