So after some advice from a few users on the site I threw away my DreadHead HQ shampoo and got a Bucks County Soap Factory Tea Tree and Rosemary Shampoo Bar. I just used it for the first time and OMG IT SMELLED SO GOOD. They also sent me an even better smelling sample. You just felt the love in this soap. Very pleased with the purchase so far.

I also went out and got an aloe plant. I ran the gel through my hair after I showered. I'm wondering if anyone has a recipe for a better application. Awfully goopy and I don't have my own blender so I kind of just get it on my hands and run it through my hair. How do you use aloe?? How often do you use aloe.

Finally I went and got natural sea salt. I used two tablespoons and a squirt of lemon juice in a full spray bottle. I think I'll use it once a week.

I'm hoping this regime helps my dreads soften up a bit and get my hair healthy and happy. My next question is, how do I get rid of my part. My hair is separating and my part seems to have gotten much bigger. I also have a chunk of hair in the front that I call my "bang" theres a part forming there too. Any ideas?
