How often should a newbie wash hair?!
Dread Maintenance
The right side of my hair is dreading up nice...and it seems to be working it's way clockwise from the right side to the left. But the left side of my hair looks as though I just combed it. And not even a month and a half in. I'm not worried. Like I said. I love the all natural look/method and am determined to stick with it. But the 2 buddies I mentioned wanna backcomb my hair. This might be a dumb question. But backcombing is no longer all natural then right?!
How often should a newbie wash hair?!

Hey guys! I was just wonering how often a newbie like myself should wash my hair?! I have been washing everyday ever since I started using the pine tar soap. But then switched to Dr. Bronner's and a bar from dreadlockshampoo.com. I love the Dr. Bronner's and the bar from dreadlockshampoo.com. So I just figured there was no problem washing everyday. But I'm starting to wonder for new dreads if it is better to go a certain amount of days between washing?! I just figured the more you wash...thequicker it will dread up. Maybe I'm completely wrong in that assumption? Should I try like every 2-3 days. Before I learned about the pine tar soap and anti-residue shampoos. Another buddy of mine who used to have dreadssaid only wash itonceor twice everyday 2weeks?!? I don't think I could stand that. Lol. So I guess the question is...is there any harm in washing everyday for someone juststarting out? Or would it be better to wait a couple days in between?

What Shampoo/Soap should I use?!
Dread Products
Last question. I just received the bar of shampoofrom dreadlockshampoo.com...and they were also kind enough to throw in a free sample of locking gel! I was just wondering what is the best way to use the gel? Wet or dry? Right after a wash while still wet...or wait til dry?

I just purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. I was just wondering how to dilute it. I searched the entire label, but couldn't find the directions to dilute it. Itsays dilute, but then doesn't give you the directions. Or maybe I couldn't find it?! Help please! I figured I would use this until the bar from dreadlockshampoo comes in the mail.
