Stiff dreads!

Most of my dreads are knotting up nicely but i have a few that are super stiff and really hard...i mean thats cool i guess but it they tend to stick out and it feels like im sleeping on rocks. will they soften up over time? maybe the new growth wont be as hard?

Presumably by your tags you had your dreads crocheted in? Crocheted dreads stay stiff for a while because they are very tight. I found washing my head in cold water really allowed mine to loosen up. From here on out though I would suggest you stop using wax (if you are using it now), stop crocheting back "imperfections", and let your dreads just do their thing

either u crocheted or waxed both are really bad to doif wax remove all traces of wax if crochet throw away the stupid crochet hook unfortunately while healling it will get extremely fuzzy from all the hairs u broke then they'll start to get better over timenever crochet dreads! spread the word its like a freaking epidemic

I did crochet and i have definatly stopped since joining this site, but they started out somewhat soft and loose and have just recently gotten hard. My question is more of will it go away? i knew that the hardness was mainly due to crocheting for the most part.My routine was washing with DHHQ soap once or twice a week, but since joing this site i have been washing once a week with baking soda(acv on occasion) and now im just leaving my dreads alone...but the hard ones are still hard and not bendy

i NEVER used wax by the way

add a lil aloe or cocoa butter or tiny bit of olive oil or jojoba oil to the vinagarrecovering from crochet takes time but lil extra conditioning will help cold water might too worth a try
