Hey hows everyone doing? It has been probably 2 months since I removed my wax and went natural, my baby dreadies are doing pretty good and my hair is knoting pretty well especially in the back. My concern is that most of my hair is in mats and flat locks, they get really fat and matted in certain places and more round and smoothe in others. I havn't really spent the time to palmroll for a couple reasons, the most important being that I am not sure if I should. To truely use the neglect method should I just not worry about the shape and form of my locks? I am cool with the matted and uneven look as is, it looks and feels great all the same; I just really want conformation that I am neglecting the correct way lol. Thanks! -Alex
it depends I guess on what you are going for. I'm palm rolling some of mine but for the most part I've decided to let them mat up however they choose to.
Also I want to get Dr. Bronner's Shampoo, I am wondering what to get, his bar soap or liquid soap? These soaps are used as shampoo also or are there specific shampoos he carries? http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=6968 thanks
None of Doctor Bronners stuff is "technically" shampoo. Its' Castille Soap. The bar and liquid are the same, it's just whichever you prefer to handle. I find the liquid is kinda thin, I think I'll try the bar stuff next.
i'm goin natural. have been for 7-8 months now. it started with one or two dreads at first and the going was slow and only in the back; but in the past month they have been new ones starting everywhere and they have been knotting up fast and getting really nice and tight. hopefully in another 4-5 months i'll have a head full.
Awesome, that is exactly what I wanted to hear! thanks. Also to anyone with Dr. Bronners exp. I have 2 bars and some liquid coming this week, that ratio do I use to dilute the liquid soap? thanks. -Alex
i think wanderin blues said she uses 12 to one ratio and i think this also a real good mix if it burns your eyes its not dilluted enough
hahaha ohh you look like a friend of mine.. i just met him a while ago.. after it starts it really starts.. its fun and in no time your have nice long lock great progress.. andreas
there is no "neglect method" police. If you want them to look a certain way, do it. I think dreads are a personal thing...do what you feel is right.
