I measured just about 4inches, maybe 1 cm off; of Hair. A 4 inch afro. I haven't combed in 5 days and haven't washed either. I'm going for it all natural, and man is it getting matted! I'm getting loops and curls and mattedness, it feels cool. I constantly wear a Beanie because I've heard it helps, but also to keep from having people stare at my hair and not me. Well, this is it, I hope my dreads reflect who I am when they mature a bit more. Any tips? Peace and Love, John.
my only tip would be wash your hair with some natural soap at least once a week. they'll just start binding. it's a bitch at first.....but they will. it's such a fun trip!
I use dr. bronners some people don't like it but it's tingly organic goodness. use it on your nut sak (peppermint) and it will feel like a minty cool wind is blowing thru oh man it's lovely. great for dreads. my scalp is clean, dandruff free, my dreads don't smell. everything is dandy ;]
Ummk. I will keep in mind to thoroughly massage my nuts with Dr. Bonner's chilling peppermint soap. And then my hair, or should I wash my hair first? Yeah.... Anyways, thanks for the tips. Peace and Love, John.
Ok, I will post pics every month, starting on Valentine's Day, which will be a month from when I started.
