Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda are very popular for washing dreads and work really well. However I'm not sure that is the best method of using it.





Here's what I suggest:


First get a big bowl with about a pint of water (the amount really isn't that important, rough estimates are fine, just fill the bowl pretty full!) Add a teaspoon of salt, 5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Stir it good, it should get really fizzy. Dip your dreads in it, use a cup to poor of it over the other harder to reach parts, then wrap it in a towel and let it soak. Let that soak in your hair as long as you can; I think I did 45 minutes to an hour, that worked well for me.





After that rinse it all out well with water and your normal soap if you want. Then in the same bowl (emptied out of course) dilute some Apple Cider Vinegar. It should be about 1 part vinegar to 6 parts water. Poor it on your scalp, give it a good rub and then let it soak in your again; try to do it as long as you can stand it, the vinegar doesn't exactly smell good!





Then rinse all that out again and you're all done. It's good for deep cleaning your dreads and is good for your scalp.





Not sure if you are considering this for yourself or were just curious about the method, but either way let me know if there's anything else I can do to help : )
