itching/loose hairs
leave loose hairs alone they eventualy become new dreads]if uy start obssessing over loose hair u will start crocheting and that will make them veruy high maintanance even requiring 15 hours a week to fix the dammage caused by crochetingitchtry the baking soda deep ckease with a lil teatree (10 drops max) and alot more rosemary (20-30)u can also use a very diluted pepermint spray betweenstop sea salt if u use it oftren

mine too. I recently started using baking soda and my head stopped itching, ur should try it. Soaring eagle has a section for it. u cant really do anything about the loose hairs unless u wana crochet which will damage ur locks. they will naturally join the dread in time.
I deleted the double post....I get that problem too, my scalp will be clean...not too oily, not too dry but it will still itch. I think with me it has to do with allergies caused by fragrances and chemicals in soap I use. I remember apple cider vinegar helping reduce itchies a lot. If it's allergies then scratching and root rubbing will make it worse. SE's baking soda wash is pretty allergen free, try that for a couple of weeks and if it is allergies then it should stop itching.As for loose hairs, the almost unanimous ideal is to leave them alone, everyone has them you just notice yours more than you do on other people. But people have mentioned the need to tidy them for professional reasons, if that is the case then there is options such as using aloe vera gel, crocheting, and a burn method.
Burn method? what is that? Puppy said:

not if u do it rightdreads themselves dont burn (well i ewould never try it on waxed dreads) only the loose hairs do and the wet rag puts em out iinstantlymy beard odviosly never gets trimmed but when i smoked it got trims by catching fire every couple monthstheres also some high end salon in la that uses fire to cut hair instead of scissorsbut again not recommending ya try it..i recommend doing nothing about loose hair
