Is picking out lint a problem, am I damaging my locs?
General Questions
Oil depends on race in a way. Just that African textured hair absorbs it like a sponge so could use more. Other textures you can use aloe, or oil, rarely as needed. I tend to use it rarely after washing, I add just a lil to a big pitcher of water pour it on, wait a few seconds then do a partial rinse, not to rinse it out, but spread it through and remove excess.
if I don’t use aloe I use jojoba or the scratch attack aunt vicki makes, but coconut, avocado, Moroccan, or africas best work too.
if African textured, just apply more often, and could be more directly (as apposed to in water)
Other questions, mold, aunt vicki makes “rot knot” because my dreads are very long I use an entire bottle. But you should use enough to really get them so the rot knot penetrates to the core and are well saturated. Leave in 10 min, then rinse well, then wash as usual.
buildup and lint, she also makes a charcoal based “detox” (gritty slightly so keep eyes closed tightly)
this super cleans.
note- detox rot knot, and scratch attack might still not be on her website. You might need to special request them.

Does it remove lint without hurting the dreads?

I’ve gotten to know you since you joined, and I would say that you are one of the most open people I’ve ever met. You are beating your shyness, just this post shows that.
dreadlocks can be therapeutic often people who have stuff like anorexia use dreadlocking, as a way of beating that.
Anorexia from being constantly controlled just like you had been, not eating is the only way they can feel any control.
dreading is about letting go of control just letting things be as they want to be and it is a very much a therapy that cures that.
