a plethoria of questions and a tad perturbed right now :/
Dread Maintenance
ok so this january 5 about 9 days will be 4 months on my journey...now a few questions because im having some issues
iive been having bad bad scalp problems, bloody sores, dandruff, but not very itchy or im just used to it idk, now all i was using is the bs/acv rinse with rosemary, tea tree, lavender oils and some times peppermint and almond but that was leaving this gross white haze i suspect was from the rinse on my scalp every single time no matter what i did and when i scratched that white layer a tiny bit flakes would just come off there like no 2maro like a freaking blizzard...pretty gross i know...and i tried it eeeeeeevery way so be4 some says oh well what did u do wrong in the method i did everything...cold shower, only a few drops of tea tree more of rosemary, only 1/2 cup bs to 5 cups of water and still white scalp
so then i swtched just recently the dreadlocksshampoo dragons blood locking up shampoo figuring ok this should do the trick heal up my sclap, so washing with this shampoo i lather it a bit on my hair and in my hands and use my finger tips to get into the roots and really try and clean and hydrate my scalp so i dont have any more dandruff issues, now its kinda working for that it smells good lathers up nice and feels clean and i like it waaaay more then the bs/acv rinse (that felt like it was just melting my scalp) but oh no no light at the end of the tunnel!!! since im having the scalp issues ive been really using my finger tips and scrubbing in the shampoo but every time i do this or just barley like mess with my hair when im washing it, my hair just falls right out, i mean full strands not breaking off just boom like 10 to 15 strands in my hand every time, im really not concerned with me like slowing down the dread process right nw cause i just want to get my scalp healthy but now my hairs falling out? so basically im pretty agitated right now ive been using only the natural stuff yet having all this issues kinda wack
so my questions are
1. why is that white layer being left with the bs/acv rinse? i have hard water thats a high ph already is that why?
2. why is my hair falling out with the dreadlocksshampoo? i thought it was supposed to be formulated for dreads but even the bs/acv rinse didn't make my hair fall out?
3. is that what is supposed to happen? strands fall out and get sucked into the dreads to make them tighter? i thought it was the shrinkage and knotting that makes them thick and tight?
im kinda bummed about all this ima go burn 1 down...

about a quarter size diameter at the base
, pretty much all is going good totally free form, if you haven't seen any of my other post or my page i started with a light back combing and rubber bands on the tips on 9/1/2012 then discovered this site few days later and took the bands off my tips and did a bs/acv wash for about 2 months or 3 but was noticing the white residue being left on my head from the hard water, so about 4 months in switched to dragons blood locking up liquid soap from the dreadlocks shampoo page and have been washing with that mixed with about 3 drops rosemary, 1 drop lavender, 1 drop tea tree, occasionally some peppermint essential oils, i mix all that in a hair dye applicator bottle and aplly directly to my roots, i lather up nice and good and rinse with colds water and my hair looks and smells great! and hardly any dandruff flakes and definitely no residue 
, my life has definitely made a turn around not a full complete one but i am growing with my locks, i have started doing yoga about 3 to 4 times a week pushing for every day, meditation about the same, i go hiking once a week and pretty strenuous ass kicking ones, i have completely stopped drinking liquor i was drinking a few beers about 3 to 4 times a week but recently it just went to weekend sand now this whole month ima not drink at all, havent had a beer in a full week, not that i was an alcoholic before or anything but i mean i live in a bachelor pad with my roommate and brother im 21 was a bit of a party animal in my later highscool years and a bit after but have turned that around for the better and have goals in life, ive been being more open to the energies around me feeling them radiate of the trees and rocks and animals and the earth itself, all in all its been a good change i just needa take a break from jah herb but in do time, thanks for reading all of you! i know im not on here alot like i said before somewhere, im not big into social networking i believe in talking face to face but i needa get more involved with this community and you great people!
