pepermint rosemary lavender good choices rosemary is suposed to help hair growth and strength i beklieve
that mountain rose herbs link bottom of the left com=]llumn go to the site maybe even call them they are great and tell em you want essentiak[l oils ..those 3 and explain the condition ask what else they might recomend
cayan is a very hot pepper its overkill in this case i was thinking allowed not suggesting
peppermint would be fgreat
possibly jojoba or alow=e but ask panterra 1st
or almond
but let her suggest those
now
wash weekly at the least! 2 times a week 3 times a week
these www.dreadlockshampoo.com
the bars
when u wash if u can air or drip druy i would or if u must blow use a blow dryer nit 1 or-=f the 1;s you suit under and move it quickly around and dont try to get it all dry real fast
do quick bursts just to get it lil dryer then wait to do aqnother
dont get it totaly dry by blowing either let it be slightly damp and let air do the rsest
just while damp or wet dont tie it up or put in a hat till it is real drty then do so
and finaly
when new growth griows in do 1 thing
celebrw==ate! rejoice! yiou survives! (if u wanna donarte a few bucks to the site u can hehe but not nesacary)
then let it dread all by itself as it grows in
it will get lik scruffy cover up the bald spots then u shoukld see baby dreads form as they get lil longer and thicker
the day u find the 1st baby you will know we pulled off a miricle practicly
prertty much what i expected
you rock
by the way
i threw this together late last night i credited you ..and jay in the credits
as far as washing i assume you want him washing much more? possibly try the www.dreadlockshampoo.com bar
heres the vid i threw together i think it will help deter others already had a few stop interlocking and twisting the very 1st day!

At this point, I suggested peppermint to stimulate the scalp. The peppermint would serve two functions...1. to keep the scalp blood flow up and 2. to help with sebum production in a gentle way. He related to me that he is only shampooing about once a month. So, I know that the scalp will most likely have some build up, even if the actual hair itself is dry. Cayenne is being used in more ways all the time, especially with beauty products...but, in his delicate state, I don't want to go the cayenne route. I also do not want him using any BS until his hair and scalp are stronger. I am working on a reply to his PM...I also suggested some hair, skin, and nail supplements...these wouldn't hurt. He told me he got some biotin...these are all hair building blocks and can be highly effective
soaring eagle said:thank you panterra i learn more from you all the time
i dont know why i didnt think of massage
question
and this may not be a great idea for a couple reasons but
if the goal is to increase bloodflow to the scalp
cayan
cayan in water op][ooiured on or massagesd in will get thr blood flowing to the scalp
but
its cayan rinsing near eyes..ouch
if its left on and in contact with skin too long can cause boils
if its hard to rinse oi=ut for any reason it might be annoying at least
but
as an option in tye areas where theres wide gaps and very lil haitr a touch up job just on those areas..would that be a good or bad idea
im not suggesting it..yet without panteeras approval just thinking alowed since cayan does bringthe bloodflow closer to the skins surface very effectively

if it wass only useless it wouldnt be a problem
but its way beyond useless
its devestatingly harmfiul
yet its pushed as a must for tidy dreads
ande the real irony is tidy is defibned as the early stages of this issue
the thinning roots
the hair pulled into the dread so tightly the scalps receding into each dread
and thy are slowly going balsd pulling out th hair
retwisting locs or dreads is not necessary and not recomended whats worse is it comes with serius dangers that can cause permanent harm.
retwisting dreadlocks puts extreme tension on the roots which causes a slowly prof=gressing condition called traction alopecia
days ago a dread whos had dreadlocks 12 years joined and stated he twisted monthly and opalm rolled often (i cringed and knew what to expect but hoped to be wrong) (i wasnt) below is the photo
notice how twisting dreads and palm rolling (which i would also recomend he stop imediately) c=has caused thinning of dreads 4 or 5 dreads lost and a progressive thinning of the hair ariund each dread the tension on the scalp makes the hair no longer want to grow
the dreads become thinner and thinner as they get closer to the roots while the balding gaps between dreads becomes wider and wider
why is this?
salons..locticians they recomend this and other harmful root tightenings to give a "neet look" the neet look is defined by them they convince you there should be bald gaps between your dreasds
why? they make you believe dreads require lots of work by a lock tech=nician the reality is dreads are best when you do next to niothing to them
they want your money they charhe you monthly to twust your dreads till your dreads twuist off
i hopethese can be saved this is advanced but ive seen worse intrrlocking as an exam=pke can cause far more severe issues
solutions imediateky stop retwisting palm rolling and mesing with them
reduce tension on tyhe scalp wear them in atam or loosely tied up with as lil weight pulling on the scalp as u can
i am forwarding this to our most gifted hair experts for cunsultation as well
in some cases medical intervention eben implants are required but im hoping in this case its not that far yet
i dont tyhink so but only our experts can say fir sure
if your retwisting or interlocking dreads sto p right away!
the damage can be severe and permenant
either
u can spray on 2 hours b4 u wash or just add to the bs and soak 10 min
not sure if it makes anty diference at all jusdt the 10 min soak does ya good

Alright awesome. Should I add the sea salt to the baking soda mix
Or do it separate? Thanks for helpin me out I really appreciate it
soaring eagle said:u can steep thyme 20 min then spray on or add to the bs wash
vinager will degrease you but being acidic will increase4 oiul production too g=just like degreasing increases grease
you want to leave some oils that are healthy but have those oils be clean adding sea salt is a great option and maybe do acv every otherwash and weak till you start getting less oily
as u stretch it to washing very 3 or even 4 days yiu should see less oils produced
Spencer Dill said:
Well I don't think drying is an issue yet because I
Dont have to many dreads yet it's been a verrrryyy slow process I'm
Doing it natural. The smell I think is just like dirty scalp and hair Probably mostly from the grease I guess. Would I just boil the Thyme and soak it in water and poor that on my hair? Will the acv like degrease my hair?
soaring eagle said:washing daily makes u greasy strip oils away and the scalp panics and produces oils
whats the smell like washing daily may not let it dry enough so could be mildew? if its more a dirty scalp smell then dont worry
thyme added will slowly reduce oil productiion
thyme as an oil or tea
u can spray on a thyme tea and smell like pizza or somethihf awhile as it gets less oily
tip
baking soda is alkaline
acv acidic
normal hairs acidic slightly oily hairs more acidic
so u can try baking soda with very lil acv after or even none temporarily you dont want to make it too alkaline i=or u get dry and itchy but ocasionaly skipping the acv will slowly reduce theoiliness and when u do do acv make it lil extra wak and rinse imediately untill your hairs nmore normal to dry then ballance it out to a ph more like normal hair

2 inches will not dread unles u got african hair
caucasian hair tends to dread bout at 6 inches
so u do got a good while to wauit
but
they have no right to tell you what to do with your hair
umm
it may dread shorter if u wear a wool tam or beannie alot ..not a real tight beannie sop maybe thats the solution cover your head out of sight out of mind and it just might get it dreading shorter then average..maybe
but dont expect dreads for minths at least cause its just too short..for any method (unless yoy got african hair)
