Dread Clening for EXTREEM Ick?

yeh cuz it still cleans it, vinegar used for cleaning after all. have some faith. i would bet every dreadhead has used this method. and they all have rockin, clean dreads

 

Vinegar cleans by breaking down protein and oil. Baking soda cleans by breaking down protein and oil. Hair is made of protein and preserved by oil.

Why do you need 2 different cleaners to break down protein and oil?

And curly girls swear by the same method, but for this curly girl, it fails. been there, done that and I smelled or I couldn't get a brush through my hair. The later may work for dreads, but just soda will do that.

 

yeh its meant for dreads. and y r u soo hesitant on not using acv? if ur hair smelled u didnt wash thoroughly. add some essential oils next time. and its so u can restore the ph balance. ur being waayyy to resistant to the idea.

 

I do this like once a month. For the past few years. Amazing is what it is. The other part of the month I wash with a lush bar or just water.

 

I did that. And I got it from a curl care web site. to little soda, oily and smelly. Too much, so dry it was brittle. Different vinegar mixes too, including herbal teas. No soda, no vinegar, soda WITH vinegar. Vinegar alone did not do ANYTHING regardless of concentration. I was as dirty as I started and smelled like a pickle. Soda alone is what I strip my hair with before I bleach since my hair fights to keep color, but vinegar did nothing to make hair more comb-able after soda.

I also tried red bean and rice, same results, though apparently the court ladies of japan counted on it for the monthly hair wash.

Tried Dr. Bronner's hemp soap and it left my hair feeling like it was coated in rubber, but the mint is lovely on my skin and the lavender is my standby for washing silk. It's also what I wash a cat with when the need arises.

Baby powder works, but takes forever to brush out. Great hair days, though. I just can't see beating it out of my mans head like a dirty rug as being helpful. I can dump it on a cat that stinks, though.

I can use the vinegar to clean glass dependably, and may use it to clean skin, definitely as food, but on hair, it's proven rather pointless for me. As for AVC, the organic unfiltered costs way more and i don't even like the taste. White is dirt cheap and does the same things as avc as a cleaner and sunburn treatment. I LIKE the taste malt and rice, so those are worth a bit extra per bottle.

But really, if I cant see a hair benefit to vinegar, avc or otherwise, I can allocate the money for the really fancy stuff to forbidden rice and the really good green tea for my mouth.

 

So thennnn...don't use acv..

In the past 4 years of me having my hair locked nothing has been this difficult. And ive been around tons of active vom volcanoes.

 

For Gods Sake Read The FAQ's At The Top Of The Page

All Your Questions Are Answered There...



Cheers Glen.

 

how do u like the lush bars? im using dr. boners now

 

I did. It does not explain how a cleaner that should leave no residue after rinsing is still affecting the ph balance of hair enough to need vinegar. If there is no residue, there is no base to neutralize with acid.

 

so r u asking for our opinions or telling us yours?

 

sorry, i gave you science. that's not exactly the classic definition of an opinion. the science behind the soda/avc method is proving to be shaky, and I'm having trouble finding anyone who can gave me a more solid explanation.

I am all for faith, but the faith that killing all the cat's would protect Christians from the evil witches who cursed them into illness caused the black plague to whipe out 2/3 of the European population. When it comes to potential spread of illness, I need a bit more than recycled blog posts, like the actual scientific proof my home testing lacked.

 

y do u need such in depth advice? pretty much every dreadhead uses this, and like i said they have amazing dreads. u worry too much, take a hit of the bong dude, or ma'am. ur not gonna spread illness thats just silly, i havent gotten sick from using a "cleaning method" for dreads. if u want more science then y not look it up since we cant obviously satisfy ur needs. i dont mean to be rude, but i feel this is going nowhere.

 

You State In Your Personal Profile That You Are Into Witchcraft.

We Dreadies Are Not Interested In That, Please Take The Advice I

Gave You In My Last Post And READ THE "FAQ's"....



Cheers Glen.

 

That's not craft, that's history. I do not condemn everything that Christianity ever did, but that particular point was an epically dumb move by the pope of the time. One pope does not mean the whole religion is bad all the time. under the holy roman catholic empier rule, monks also worked extensively researching herbal medicines. They may have gotten a lot of wrong answers along the way, but so did the Chinese monks, and the point is they tried.

I also knew a militant vegan pot head. They happen. Not often, but they happen.

And a bong will not stop me from thinking. If it did, I may be anti-medical cannibus. I'm actually pro-cannibus reserch since most plants have medicinal properties, you just need to find out what they are. To live in a healthy harmony with nature, it helps if you understand nature, and science studies nature.

 

So.......Have You Read The FAQ's Yet....???



Cheers Glen.

 

yeh no shit. pots makes u think, thats obvious, i said it so that to calm ur nerves and chill out. ur way to anal about this. i just read the fact section, and did u see the OP's? dreads they r badass. stop being soo fuckin anal! no need to lecture me about nature, after all i am a dread head

 

Yes, I read the faq.

The faq, as well as many curl care site, does not explain how baking soda, while rinsing out of hair with no residue, still needs to be neutralized. tap water is neutral ph. If there is nothing but water in the hair, it's neutral. Why is acid needed to nutralize neutral hair?

 

then look it up, since we cant answer ur question. if u dont wanna use acid then dont, see wut happens. if shit hits the fan dont come complaining

 

I Have Used Baking Soda For 4 1/2 Years, I Leave It In Whilst I Shower

And Brush My Teeth And Wash My Boi-Bits, Then I Rinse And Squeeze

To Get The BS All Out, It's Not Rocket Science...



Cheers Glen.


PS:- Note, I Only Squeeze My Dreads, Not My Boi-Bits....

 

Thank you.

And I am happy to know that you care about the cleanliness of your boi-bits too. Clean boi-bits tend to get more love from a partner.
