Ahem, an introduction
Well Hello all,
I started dreading about a year and a half ago. I used the backcombing method to do my dreads. Because I got really impatient with my dreads not maturing, I combed them out. Now, I have decided to re-dread. I backcombed in my dreads about 3 weeks ago. I've been using Dr. Bronner's bar soap as shampoo. Although I am very curious about this baking soda+AVC that I have seen mentioned...? If anyone has info on that, I would be interested. Also, I would love to use essential oils if anyone could suggest a good method of using those. My mom and I are very much into essential oils and natural remedies, etc. I have read online that rinsing your dreads with a saltwater solution will help them dread...is there any truth to this? There are so many more questions I could ask, but I will stop here for now. Any information would be much appreciated 
Thank you very much! This information is indeed helpful
patience, if you dont know it you will learn
your hair wants to lock, and it will given enough time to do its thing. sea salt does wonders, make a solution somewhat close to the ocean and spray your hair not your scalp.
the three oil i use and i think are most essential, no pun intended, are tea tree, lavander, and rosemary (if you have severe dandruff). drop ammounts vary, but you want to use less tea tree, i usually do no more than 5 drops to a gallon of water. then you can do like 20 of lavander and maybe more of rosemary if its that bad.
you can find uses for many oils:

add the oils to the baking soda or to a rinse afterwards
