scared to wash hair without bands

hi,another dumb ? lol,um im bit nervous bout washing my hair without the bands,last nites wash went ok.should i wait a week till my next wash cos my hair gets really loose after a wash.only had dreads in for 7th week i think there still sensitive but holding up well and knots r staying together

 

You dont need to wash them everyday I wouldnt keep in bands, they will get consumed by the dreads & rot inside them
They will get loose before tighter

Some of the hair will come undone. It's just the way it works. In the end, it's all going to dread. Like Alex said, it's going to get loose before it tightens. When I had my dreads, I was scared to wash my hair because at first it seemed to make it all come undone, but over time, I could tell after a wash that they were getting tighter so much so that I looked forward to washing them.

 

I have hair wraps currently over over all my dreadlings, should I just wash my hair through the hair wraps?

 

^ what he said.. although I've had qutie a few hairs come out of my backcombed sections, they reallly do seem a LOT tighter after each wash

 

the hair wraps sound interesting,what do u do get some wool and tie it round each dread??

 

if you wrap too much your hair will stay loose and wont knot

 

not true at least 1/2 a dozen of mine started with wraps
from toot past tip
when the wraps fell apart there were tight lil dreads in there but they do kinda tend to make rather thin dreads that sometimes are bit thicker towARDS RHE ROOT WHERE THE UNWRAPPED HAIR DREADED
damn caps again

 

can wraps help make dreads
I.E get some twisted hair and wrap it up would it form into a dread.

 

I know exactly what you mean, I'm a couple of months into the process now. My hair is seperating nicely and I would go as far as to say there are a couple of pretty permenant dreads in there.
I am concerned about drying my hair though, I try to make sure my hair is dry, can towel drying do more harm than good though, would anyone reccomend a hair dryer?

 

I have used a hair dryer a few times but ended up getting quite a lot of frizz so I just towel dry for a bit then air dry the rest now.
