yea im glad and you have no idea how bad it can be

ofcourse you might know they used to use wax, wich caused almost 1/2 to have to be cut, well in uk a salon used liquid latex instead caujse they said wax was bad and too hard to get out of dreads, the rubber was impossible, and the worse part was it  was black latex on blond hair!

it ruined all her clothes and furniture and had to shave her head

but you are probably familiar with stuff like this?

that tightness can lead to this

notice in the photo the salons still twistting!

now these were never twisted once notice how healthy and how hair coveres the whole scalp like it should

shes a member of this site

see the clear diference when they are healthy

search the site for traction alopecia you'll see its very common  in those who went to salons

stop going to the salon  vinager actualy disolves the hair!

salons are the worse thing you can do to locks

i would recommend in addition to the shampoo bars order 1 extra and request it be substituted with a 'detox bar' its not listed on the site

it is slightly drying but you needit to get all the horific buildup out of your hair, adding gels and gunks and not washing yoi9uyr hair will be all stuck together in gel, unable to actuakly m=lock but will apear locked just by being caked with lots of heavy buuildup

once the buildups removed the hairs free to move it will loosen  soften  thicken and then actualy be able to lock

it must be clean and free of residues and gunks to lock

gels are a scam (almost all) if its holding the hair in twists its preventing it from ceasing to9 be twists and vbecoming locks, to do that the twists have to loosen up, even fall apart and then tangle and tighten on their own, not by force

twisting that exposes the scalp puts too much tenssion on the scalp and kills the blood flow to the roots which die

then you have traction alopecia and the lock rioots thin wghhile the bald gaps widen

welcome but DON'T USE ANY GELS AND DON'T RETWIST i'm vegatarian 38 years with hypothyroidism but have thick long 10 foot long dreads  the thinning was caused by going to a salonand retwisting retwisting causes traction alopecia balding caused by forced tightening

salons slow the locjking on purpose to keep you going back'

yiu say the salon was washing them i bet that was the only time they got washed/ instead use a good dread shampoo www.dreadlockshampoo.com bein g best (bars only for african hair0 then thats it wash at least once to 3 times a week and separate as need nothhing eklse at all

you shouldnt nbeeed gels or anything but if you do just jojoba oil or something like that NO GELS

and no twisting
