Not washing hair enough ?

My hair is one month old (i know, not very long, but thats not the point)i wash my hair once a week . It doesnt ever get itchy. My old normal hair , got oily wiyhin 3 days ,then id put it up and leave it ,so my hair is use to not being washed for a week or so.But ive noticed other people need to pull their dreads apart . I never need to .Im nervous its because my hair isnt doing anything ,though im sure there isnt going to be very much going on so soon .Plus , none of my dreads have fallen out ,why ?Some have barely even losen up .alot feel like the matted hair youd feel on an animal .i dont need to be told my hair is to young ,i know this . I just want to know whats going on with my hair

I could wash more. I'm just honestly lazy, and don't thing wet when I don't have to. LolI did pretty much twist and rip. My hair was so fine and thin, I had to back comb a little just to have enough volume to get it to stay when I T'n'R.I wash with 1/2 cup of BS, in one of those large water things. Let it sit in while I do everything else I need to do, shave, wash etc. Then rinse it out, then do ACV, a cap full in the same thing. And rinse right away, with cold water.I put them up in a towel for like 30 mins and hair dry after that. It doesn't take very long.

d skip the wrapping in the towel if u stop doing that i bet u notice a diference fast

What does adding salt water to my water do?I did that once, does it really make a difference

yea it will it dries out the hair and makes it dread and tighten faster u want 3 1/2 peecent of the water volume to equal the salt water in the ocean

How big is "one of those large water things"? It should be 2 tablespoons of salt, for every quart(32oz, 4 cups) of water. If your container is larger, add 1/2 tablespoon for every 8oz.
