Throw away the crochet hook and let your dreads recover. It can take 6 months to a year, or even more, depending on how much damage was done. They will get very frizzy, but the loose hairs will get sucked back in.
It happens. If you notice that the residue isn't washing out, get a small travel sized bottle of clarifying shampoo from the travel section of any grocery store or drug store. You should only need to use it once, maybe twice. You only need the small bottle because you don't need much and, hopefully, should never need to use it again
Welcome and Happy Dreading.

Welcome James. Enjoy your journey.
Welcome. Be careful with Dr. B's though. It only works in soft water. If you have hard water it will build up and leave residue
