A new knotty boy in need of advice ^^

Heya,I'm Edouard, 22 y.o., french, and "dreaded" since 25th of August 2010.I have been reading heaps of discussions on this forum and finally decided to be part of it hehe.Better than creating a new discussion I'll use this one and hope that you guys can help me.Is this possible that my hair doesn't want to lock up? I now that I am only in my second month of locking and that dreadlocks need time but honestly if I had done'em yesterday it would be the same...My hair type is thick (numerous and size) and straight. Lenght with no locks 20 cm or so. I did'em myself with twist and crochet method. My routine is washing'em once a week with a bar soap (I gonna try the BS and ACV soon) and chochet'em after 4 or 5 washes (once a month). So yeah basically I would like to know if it is possible that my hair type can't lock up?Or if I only need time, time, time... ;pThanks.

The soap that I'm using is the cheapest that you can find in any supermarket, white, no smell and apparently no residu. I already got a tam and I wear it often. I'll ask my girlfriend for stocking and sleep with it on my locks, I remember reading something about it.I am not an a*ss licker but thanks again for your replies and involvment, so glad to find people like you. soaringeagle said:

nonono dont sleep in a stockingand dont use that soap..baking soda would be better and cheaper but that soap i guarantee has residues and is too conditioning and is the reasonn your dreads arent dreading
