Am I going about this the wrong way?

Dread Maintenance

thanks once again! I think I will try the bc/acv mix first because I have all the ingredients at home!

Dread Maintenance

ok one more question. Should I do the bc/acv thing with my whole head? Or just my dreads?Im already naturally prone to frizzy hair being a redhead and Im afraid that the mixture will just enhance the frizzy.

Im in need of some help...I think.lol I have 3 dreads that I made 3 weeks ago,Iam only able todo a fewthat can be well hidden because of work. I did the rip and tear method, maintance wise Ive been washing my whole head every other day with shampoo and trying my best not to get conditioner in the dreads, and rinsing them out very well if I do. Ive also been rolling them between my palms vigirously from root to tip 2 times a day and I think Ive seen some changes, it might just all be wishful thinking though.

They are staying together pretty well, I think. The tips seem to have loosen up a bit but not drastically. The roots on the other hand are loose, like theres a 4 inch gap between my scalp and the dread formation. I tried my hardest to get the roots tighter as I was dreading them up but for whatever reason I couldnt manage it. They also have a fuzzy look to them because of all the little erant hairs that are seemingly continuing to pop out of the dread, I dont know if thats normal baby dread growth or if my hair just hates me and Im an idiot.

Any insight on my journey to full fledged dreads would be amazing! Im new to this whole experience and I just dont want to start out on the wrong foot and have to start over or ruin this experience that Ive been wanting to try for so long!

Thanks!
