so last night i started on my journey via TnR and love them so far. i used elastics around the roots t help hold the dread since they are short. is it ok if i leave them in or should i switch to hemp string to tie off at the roots? what should i be using to help keep my dreads locking? i have read using just salt water helps is this true? if so should i go for a dip in the ocean since i live right down the street? or how long should i wait untill i go for a dip in the water?

keep them in. Some will stay in some will mostly fall out. my hair is short too. 4 inches at the longest and i haven't had one fall out all the way yet at 1 month old.
