the 1st question is what are you using to loc your dreads into place?
There is a very strong possibility that if you are not Locing natural then whatever product that your using has a WAX base to it.
Which if that is the case, and then you will be fine it will fade with very little heat, or you can just wrap it up for a few hours with a head scarf and you will see the change.
Good luck and remember natural Dreading is the best.

I am doing it completely natural. I have been locking for almost 2 years and this has never happened. So I'm a little puzzled

It doesn't smell when wet and I use Dr. Bonner's castil soap. I think it might just be buildup. I'm gonna do another wash and rinse with acv. I hope that will fix it. If not I guess I'm gonna be grey cause I don't wanna start my locs all over.
