Natural hair not just for the young

Doesn't she look great? Who wouldn't like to look that good? Her hair can be considered professional and stylish for her private life. This is a winning look.

Many comments have been made that dreads are dirty looking and smell. Well, that is just not the truth. Any hair style will look messy and smell if good grooming practices are nt maintained. In this era of the internet, there is not a viable reason for anyone not to be able to maintain healthy and happy natural styles.

In my dread journey and even before, I have found my scalp to be extra sensitive to any grooming product. I have severe allrgic reactions to perfume, certain oils, you get the picture. I can use a new product for about 2 weeks and then my scalp becomes sensitized to that particular product. Even with my delicate condition, I wash my dreads more-so. In the warm months I wash my hair at least twice weekly and during the cold months I do notgo over 10 days without washing my hair.

This is not a regimine that will work for others, but it is the haircare I must adhere to. I do hot oil my hair once a month. Do I have the healthiest dreads in the world? Probably not. Do I have clean hair? Yes I do. Am I happy not being burned to a crisp by chemical and forced to use permed hair products even with my sever allergic reactions? You bet I am happier with my product free relieved scalp.

For others with severe alergic reactions to chemicals, please let me know of products that have worked for you. I'm sure there are tons of people with the same problems.
