Cool thanks, I wasn't doing it so vigorously that it left my scalp visible but I was probably doing it when it didn't really need it. I'll leave the locking products alone in that case as my hair is doing ok by itself and I don't to put anything in my hair that doesn't need to be there
Fair enough. I notice a lot of 'locking up' products on that site, are they good or am I better off letting my hair do it all at it's own pace? I don't want to end up with worse dreads just because I was a little impatient
Thanks, I'll finish off this bottle and see how much of the stuff on that site I can get hold of in the UK
Usually between half an inch to an inch and a half from the scalp. If it's closer to the scalp than that I usually just leave it alone. Should I stop using the shampoo? It was pretty expensive and I don't want to just throw it away...
It's enough that the dreads won't move freely until I separate them, but not a particulary large amount of hair. It basically looks like my dreads have a thin webbing connecting them to each other
I'm a bit ocd and I can't stop myself from faffing about with my dreads all day every day and it seems to be hindering their progress at the front as well as making them really thin. How did you guys control yourselves and stop yourselves fussing about with your dreads every 5 minutes?
I just read the Dreaducation page which covers this kind of thing, sorry, I should have had a more thorough look round the site before posting this
