Welcome to the community naesha. Glad you joined the best site on the web that promotes healthy dreading. I too used the BS wash for my entire first year. but unless you have an extremely oily scalp, you should always follow it with an apple cider vinegar rinse to balance back the scalp and hairs PH levels. After you rinse out the BS wash, mix 1-2 capful of ACV to 5 cups water, pour this over your head and rinse out right away or within one minute. Keeps the hair and dreads nice and soft, not undoing any knotting process.
Enjoy the site and your journey...peace
If you have hard water, you should do one of two things for the BS to dissolve properly. Either use water jug water, I buy the cooler size..lasts forever and is cheap. Or, boil the water first, let the minerals sink to the bottom and pour out the good water, leaving the minerals behind....I am too lazy to boil
Welcome to the community Heather. Glad you checked out this site before starting. The dreaducation section at the top of the site is a great place to start. Do lots of reading, look at timeline pics and ask any question, none are silly. If you start off right and healthy, you will grow beautiful healthy dreadlocks. Enjoy the site and your future journey....peace
