I assume you are asking if I still have my dreads? I do. Almost at the one year mark.. and they are as ridiculous as ever. Strays everywhere.. I havent been spraying with salt water, because frankly, i'm lazy. I tend to just twist the strays around the closest dread as well. it doesnt stay long but it does the trick for a short while. when they are really bothering me, i will just wear my dreads in a french bread or pulled back (with or without a headband)
edit- looking back at pictures from the last few months It looks like they have tamed down more with time... but i guess some amount of stray hairs is normal?
the strays will create new baby dreads or will get long enough to get eaten by dreads close by. i kind of like strays though because it softens the look and looks more natural.
totally normal
Mine are 5 years old, and there are still a strays around my temple especially. It's a natural and ongoing process. Most of them will eventually lock up or get sucked into other locks, but be prepared to always have some strays. They are the end result of nappy hair that you don't maintain
Dr. Bronner's probably has way too much oil in it for your fine hair...have you tried the baking soda/acv for cleansing yet? (sorry faithful users, but dr bronner's is superfatted, and tends to undo lots of dreads, especially newer locs)
