I redid them with a metal comb, back comb method, I've got 45, but half of my head is older than the other half because I did them myself and including life events, wasn't able to get them all done at once. There are a few soft spots in the middle of the older dreads and it worries me, will they knot up in time? My new dreads are a week old and was wondering if showering is an okay at one week? And dandruff seems to be a huge issue, but after this first week it seems to have calmed down a little on the irritation but the dandruff is still there. I have t-gel shampoo, and was wondering if you had any recommendations on a washing schedule for me, taking in that my dreads are still just babies?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739049768573572233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535646833591113382.post-24077867065397777332015-07-08T12:29:29.109-07:002015-07-08T12:29:29.109-07:00Ok, thank you.
