my story and some questions
General Talk
Hi Lexxerd, I'd be glad to answer these questions. Ok, so as for the first wash I myself waited about 2 and a half weeks to wash them after I stopped combing my hair. I plan on washing my hair at least once a week but for you that all depends on how active you are and how dirty you get. So you might have to wash it more. I hear that the baking soda mix everyone is talking about on this site is really good for dreads. I myself am using the Dr. Bronners magic lavender soap. It helps your hair dry out plus you can wash your entire body with it and it smells yummy. :3 I think that plenty of patience, time in the sun, (time in general), love, and a carefree attitude will help you remove all theunnecessary moisture out of your locks. Try your best to keep your hands out of your hair because all you really need is time and patience to get awesome dreadlocks. Maybe a little separating and twisting will do ya good too. I hope my answers helped.
