i have come to a desicion to have dreadlocks yay! i really wanted em but wasn't sure as im not a very paitent person at times but i beieve this will be a journey that will help me plus i really want em,would really love some good advice about them and what to do with my hair ...its reallly curly and can be frizzy and if i dont brush it it gets matted reall quick so i guess thats good? also wanna know what to wash my hair with and if i need anything to start it off?
wash your hair with tar soap, and by the way when you have dreads you dont really need to wash the dreads but your scalp. Its very important to wash your scalp.
wouldnt use tar soap really that can leave a tar scent thats a medicated soap for dandruf instead use dr bronners teatree oil soap the teatree oil helps dandruff with a mjuch more pleasant scent then tar post pics but sounds like your hairs perfect for natural dreads so stop combing let it mnatt up but seperate into sections (rip 1 dread from anbnother so they dont all combine into 1 megadread) thats it thats all ya gotta do
haha hmmm that sounds so much simpiler then the waxing it and doin everything to make em perfect and the same size and such ....yep like the natural way much better ill post pics as soon as i can find the thing thats puts pics on ere frm my cam
waxing is a huge mistake that will end up making ya cut your dreads..wax traps dirt and water causing mold and mildew it also just glues hait ytogether keeping it from moving so it never really dreads plus its almost impossible to get out without water hot enough to blister your scalp..wax is evil
But what if you want to de tangle your hair... (for example your mother threatens to disown you if you don't remove them) you'll have not much hair left?
ok i got dr bronners teetree oil soap um its a liquid is that right? an i just use that pure or do i dilute it ?
dilute it 1 part bronners, 10 part water. Some go 20 part water, but I like mine to be soapy. Its more of a personal preference. Find out how much you like it diluted and do it like that. But def dilute it quite a bit.
also wondering...my hair is kinda long ...when wet it touches my butt, um will i loose alot of the length?
