Alot of my dreads are flat, i think it might be the way i sleep with them which is just in a ponytail? they're just 3wks & 3 days, another question is i washed my dreads with the BS/salt ACV twice already it my hair feels crusty or hard in a way?

Ok, don't worry about flat locks:

You should be washing more often. Twice in over 3 weeks is going to make your hair kind of gritty. You should be washing 2-3 times a week.

If you have hard water, the BS doesn't dissolve and won't wash out well, but that would usually leave a sticky goo, or flakes. So I'd bet it because you haven't washed your hair enough

Hard water vs. soft water is dependent on how much undissolved minerals, like limestone, shale, or granite, are in the water. Soft water has very few. Hard water has a lot.

Different areas have different water. Because of the hardness of the water, BS doesn't always dissolve completely. It may look like it does, but it's just gettingdispersedthroughout the water.
