The Difference Between New Dread Growth and Loose Hair ??
Dread Maintenance
yes well maybe you wikl constantlyhave the number change if you allow them to congo and alow the loose hairs bey=tween dreads to foem new dreads
or ifyou maintain them tioo much they never change you force hairs into existing dreads so no new dreads form
the new growth loose hairs may join dreads..or become dreads so it varies on how much if at all becomes new dreads
i constantly find new dreads at 22 years but most then confgo and join other dreads
so the number changes weekly almost
The Difference Between New Dread Growth and Loose Hair ??
Dread Maintenance
loose hair tends to mean hair as long as the rest that hasnt yet dreaded new growth is hair between dreads from seperarting thats up to 6 inches at which point it dreads
you dont need to know what it is or bead or wrap it just let it do what it does it will dread where it wants
Question about new dreads...
Dread Maintenance
neithert u do not want elasticvs in at all..ever and its normal and nesacary to have an inch to 3 inches loodse at the roots just leave em alone they take many mon ths for the roots to tighten
pemphugus + dreads = unusual problems
Dreads Hair and Scalp Health
well the pemphugus is starting to affect my scalp too slkightly so needed to be washed more often and stings im tryingto be gentle and not open up any big sores on my scalp tho
ive used a basin like thing to soak the dreads but when rinsing they gotta fall to the flooe=r to let water run thru plus as soon as they touch my back or chest after washing skin comes off and sticks to em
tho the sores are looking way better today so im thinking in the next week i can do a bs soak and it will get it all out..i hope
everythung does look drasticly better after a good shower and applying the steroid creams
so we will see
pemphugus + dreads = unusual problems
Dreads Hair and Scalp Health
so if you been following my blog posts you may know ive had alot of trouble this month i'll fill you in
right b4 xmass i found a few small unexplained sores pop up then a few more ..superficial but since they just showed up with no cause i went to the dr wh=o said it was staph..it wasnt but they gave me antibiotics anyway (which maybe made it way worse) few days after finishing the antibiotics it was way worse so off to a dermentologist and more antibiotics no further diagnostics were done again it gets worse so to the er i go they pump mye full of thre strongest antibiotics there is.. plus 2 more and a 4th orally then 10 days oral and ..it got way way worse by this time 60% of my body was covered in sores off to the er a second time and again they did cultures but no biopsy th cultures were iunconclusive and besides they did the pump me full of antibiotics and send me home b4 they even got the culture results back
again..it got worse
so off to a diferent er this time and thank got they were better at duagnosis and recognized it as pemphugus foliosus
they did a biopsy to confoirm and put me on pretizone pills and cream
which is already begining to help..i think? but heres where the unusual problem comes in
the pemphugus causes my skin to blister (sorta its not blistering ass in fluid filled blisr=ters just the skin comes loose and comes off easily) so all my skins coming off like crazy
washing my dreads when they touch my skin or just rinsing my body lots of skins coming off and sticking to my dreads
im having the feeling the solutiions gonna be to ignore it till im healed enough to be able to do the bs acv and lket that kinda dissolve all the dead skin but right now ..it stings too damn bad i tried it once and..ouch
its barely bareable to use soaps
i doubt anyon e has any experience with this as when i was diagnosed they brought in like 25 drs the entire dermantology dept to check me out since i believe i was the 1st case they had seen
but was just wondering if anyone might have other suggestu=ions ..that wont turn me into wa screaming maniac in the shower
chances are in a week or 2 i'll be ok enough to not have such bad id]==ssues but they think full healing and recovery might take months tho the period where my skins coming off just from touching it should be over in a couple weeks hopefully
and yea i know it sounds nasty..and it is..
i got the dreadlockshamooo.com gel to test out but kinda hesitant to yet till im lil more healed
