baking soda question

I was wondering if it would be OK to use a baking soda spray instead of a sea salt spray. I like how baking soda leaves my hair dry, but somewhat fluffy. where as sea salt leaves my hair dry and hard. Ive been using the dreadlocksshampoo bars on my hair and BS/acv wash every 3 weeks or so. I want to know if i could spray baking soda mixture in my hair about 10 minutes before i shower with the shampoo bar. any ideas?? would it work good like sea saltSee More

"I agree with SE.  The Dreadlock shampoo is natural and specifically designed to keep your dreads healthy.  That second ingredient you listed (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) will prevent you hair from dreading."

Wax prevents locks from forming.  It makes you look like you have locks, but in reality it's just hair that has been glued together.  With wax in there, you will never actually grow locks.  10 years down the line, if they even make it that far without rotting inside,you'll still be able to pull them apart and just palm roll them back together.  I hate to say it, but at 6 weeks, you might want to just comb them out and start over.  The aggressive washing that you'd need to do to get the wax out might undo any knots from the back combing anyway. 

Never listen to what DHHQ or KB have to say.  The are only in it for the money and don't know how to grow healthy locks

welcome  but you do not want wax in dreads! 2nd the dreadheadhq accelerator u paid 10 dollars for is just 2 cents worth of sea salt  that sites a scam and ripooff
