Hey, I'm starting dreads again. I like using rubber bands, at least in the beginning. After a few weeks, I felt around to see how they were doing, and noticed some didn't feel very knotted. For those ones, I undid them, backcombed them, and tied them up again.
But what concerned me was what I found in some knots. A couple had a white residue on them, and I don't know what it was. I saw it last time I had dreads on ones I had over-maitenenced.
Is there any advice on what it is or how to prevent it? I'm guessing I should just stop messing with my hair right?
