Is it normal that my hair looks messier now at 4 months than it did at 3? They suddenly got all messy, frizzy and loosened at som spots. I think I just need reassurance. Also, how often should I separate? I used to fiddle with my hair constantly and separate daily. This past month I tried leaving it alone and although their not congoing their just really messy.

I'm a few months ahead of you with a mix of twist and rip and natural. You're right on schedule for the "worst" of it. :D. They'll really start tightening up soon enough. The dreads I twist and ripped are getting quite solid now at 7 months in.
I try to limit my separating to once a week unless I notice something serious happening. If you are worried about separating watch Baba's video on the subject.
