When you start your journey into dreads, there is much to consider. Methods, products, etc.
For my journey, I chose the "neglect" or natural method.
A common misconception with this method, is that you actually neglect good hygeine.
I can not stress enough how FALSE this is.
I still shower. I still WASH MY HAIR!! I simply just dont brush it. Thats it! I don't even towel dry (although, I do flip my hair to speed up initial drying - so that I am not walking around leaving a water trail everywhere!).
I "neglect" my hair, and let it do whatever the hell it wants! I am not following any special method that gives the look of dreads, with tons of work!
Following this method does not make me dirty, nasty, nor does it make me smell bad. How funny.
CLEAN HAIR DREADS BETTER/FASTER THAN DIRTY HAIR!! - just a bit of info for anyone considering this method!! Wash your hair!! =)
Also, stay away from bad products! Do your research!! I wash my hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I started this wash about 8 months before I began my dread journey. Not for dreads, but for healthier hair!! Try it, dreads or not. Your hair will turn out fabulous when you stop attacking it with harmful chemicals! Oh, and dreads love it!
