So about three weeks ago, I twist and ripped my entire head. The first week I did not wash my hair and now I wash every 3-4 days using an all natural bar soap. The entire backside of my hair has become straight, silky soft hair. );Even though I made sure to separate it all the time, the sections have disappeared as well. Also, the sides were doing the same and I re twist and ripped them because I DID NOT want the same results as the back.. And at this point a lot of the top an sides are becoming silky soft, and straight. I put beads on a lot of it to keep it sectioned but I just don't know what to do. Also on my longest front dreads about 3-4 inches of it is soft straight hair and it's comin undone day by day. Oh and one last issue. I have some dreads that are EXTREMELY thin. We're talking a millimeter - centimeter thick, will this be an issue? I want fat dreads but most of mine are at most half inch. Help? );Images: http://db.tt/ENtJkpTt http://db.tt/KtSmwMgY http://db.tt/9myAGxyj http://db.tt/n9eYEg1x http://db.tt/7KGA9m3F http://db.tt/FG2dyDbF

It looks to me like your hair is shorter in the back. Just give it a few months to grow and dont touch it. You might just like how the knots will form over time. If you dont like how it goes you can just brush it out when it gets a long enough to hold the knots that you plan to form.
Would it be okay for me to brush out? Will my hair be broken and undesirable?
you can just leave it be from now & as it grows it will knot. just forget you have hair on your head. tnr normally falls out, you don't need to redo it, but your hair is a bit short in the back. just let it go & be free & when it starts knotting & holding it'll be a nice surprise! a lot of mine are really really thin, yours don't look too small, & even after a while if you feel they are you can let them congo some & they will fatten up anyways. give it time.
In those 5 days, you shouldn't have had t separate at all. separating should only be done when they start to eat other locks. If just the roots were connected, that's how they're supposed to be. It's when the body of the lock is connecting that they need any separating.
Like Eagle said, just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good. Many natural soaps use too much oil and makes your hair slick and hard t knot. Coconut oil is very common in natural shampoo. it also is not good for most people's progress. And unless it says 100% organic, it can mean only 1 ingredient is organic.
What soap were you using? And how were you drying?
If you want fat locks, don't separate the often. They need to congo to get thicker
It's a lavender and oat soap and I dry them by wringing them out and letting em air dry.
what brand? Do you have an ingredients list? Or a website We can check it out on
It's just from the farmers market, sorry. ):
im certain that soaps not good for drada if u can get a list of ingredients we can say for certain but if u use just any ol soap your going to have trouble
