scalp psoriasis

General Questions

hey. i think i am about 7 to 8 weeks in i backcombed my hair once and after that i havent really done anything with them except wash and seperate... my dreads seem pretty healthy right now, other than the fact that my hair appears to be thinning possibly because of my chronic scalp psoriasis. was dreading my hair a bad idea?i have been soaking my hair in bs/water/tea tree/lavender oil pretty much 2-3x a week since i started and it has been really helping my scalp more than anything i have ever tried.i would like to try doing it more often. just wondering how often is too often? is there anything else i can use for scalp psoriasis that would not affect my dreads? i am not sure if it is linked to me using baking soda mixure and it may be too strong or if it's my psoriasis, but i have a few spots on my scalp between dreads where it looks like i am loosing hair and it is sometimes noticable. my dreads are not tight to the scalp or anything.

does anyone have any advice?

thank you for reading

Just a question

General Questions

I think I am at 4 or 5 weeks and my dreads are doing amazingly. They are all becoming tight.They are locking up the most towards the root. Does it start at the roots and work its way down? They are looser towards the ends.

Introduce Yourself

Hello, I am Allison. I just started dreading about 3 weeks ago. I used the back combing method and have some pretty wierd sectioning, but they are dreading up very quickly and well. I have very curly thick hair that was already dreading up on it's own. I almost regret using the backcombing method, but what's done is done.
