Heh! Yes, I had palm-rolled dreds back then, so you are correct. Now that I have interlocking dreds, I just fiddle with them in a different way. :3
Ah, now that I see what you're using the info for. If you're talking about daily care routines, the methods also varied with type of hair from absolutely nothing on a more-or-less daily basis except a bit of scalp and hair oiling as needed (dreds and braids) to a more elaborate picking, hair net, oiling routine with longer, natural hair, like the Congresswoman. So, if you're character has McKinney's hair, make sure she wears a scarf to bed to keep the tangling to a minimum. Other than that, I personally find oiling at night to be messy and I'm sure your character would agree. Most maintenance will be done in the morning, not at night.
