So after scrubbing (mind you I am the former candlehead preparing for a huge wax removal process this week), I decided to pour water with sea salt in it over my head and through the length of my dreads. I did not wash it out. I just let it dry that way. Are you supposed to maybe make a spray to spray the salt water on? Or is what I did okay? How often should I do salt? I know I should probably just wait and not do anything until I get this godforsaken wax out, but I just wanted to do something to help.
I spray the sea salt and lemon juice mixture on. And generally try to keep it away from my scalp as it can go a bit flakey. I also tend to do it once a week or maybe even once a fortnight and leave it in for a few hours then wash it out. Everyone has different opinions and ways of doin the sea salt spray(and many other things!), this is just how I do it and its working well for me so far. I would also maybe say its best if you can do a few more deep cleanse's to rid yaself of the wax and then go for the lock accelerator!
No worries mamamojo, just stick with those deep cleanse's and you will get there! Make sure you get yourself some orange oil too mama, that stuff is the shiznit! Sending positive vibes to ya!!!
I keep it on for 15 minutes maximum usually, I dont want the salt to dry there and be everywhere on my head, it already happened when I let it dry I had salt everywhere on my head and its not too good for the scalp if you keep it for long I guess.
Yea most people say between 15-30 mins but I didn't really have any probs with it bein in longer. Just made sure I gave it a good bronners wash afterwards! I also keep the spray away from my scalp when I do it.
your scalp might be screamin' and your ph balance off after all you'll need to do with your hair to get the wax out. I would leave well enough alone and give your dreads and scalp time to heal/adjust before dryin them out some with salt. That's my opinion anyway.
