i always let it air dry. i usually washed my hair with my front of my body facing towards the shower head and looked down at the gorund to wash my hair and then i just let my hair fall over the front of my face to air dry.problem is now that my hair covrs my eyes and im just wondering if washing my hair with my back toward the shower head and leaning my head back and letting dry that way (like in my second pic) will that make it slow dread progess down or no?
jw if my hair is considered easily dreadable when the right length is reached. also will it slow down progress if i try to dry my hair while its tilted back like in this pic? cause it helps to keep hair out of my eyes. Thanks
hey castaway do you wash your hair with your head tilted back in the shower? and is that how you rinse it?
post a pic of her dreads and we will have a vote on whose are better
yeah definitely, pretty much all the hairs that are clumped together come apart when i wash regardless if its a no touch BS/ACV wash or a gentle scalp massage with dreadlockshampoo. I figured that doing the every 2-3 day wash would get my scalp adjusted for the time/length my hair starts holding baby dreads without coming apart.

another inch will help for sure
i started with Dr. Bronners then switched to BS/ACV so i could get my scalp adjusted for when my hair actually starts dreading, i had really bad dandruff and the BS/ACV wash with Tea tree and Rosemary essential oils every 3 days with a freezing cold rinse after words nearly got rid of all dandruff. I recently switched to the Dreadlockshampoo bar (Patchouli and the Tea Tree due to dandruff treatment properties) and my hair feels more fluffy. We will see if it continues to prevent my dandruff from occurring. Here are the pics of my hair 5 months after i got a size 2 buzz-cut. Since then I've been washing my hair with those 3 res free washes. Figured i would post them for anyone who is interested in dreading and has short hair and can see what to expect, after the 5 months my hair is about 3inches long more/less. I live in a place with almost no hard water and i have thick dark Caucasian hair. My mom also knitted me a wool beanie so i've been wearing that for about a month now
