I am new to dreads, and have been told different things by many different people, I come here in search of hopefully real advice. I dreaded my hair 5 days ago using the twist and rip method, i continued my normal every other day showerscheduled that i had before dreading, with the exception that i wasnt washing my hair.... until today, i looked up a basic baking soda rinserecipe, i poured it on my head and let it sit for about 15 min, than jumped in the shower and rinsed it out for a while. when the shower was done i towel dried off the loose water, and let it air dry for the remainder of the drying process....Well, now they are some fuzzy looking baby dreads. Some of them even seem a bit more loose, none fully came out thankfully. I was just wondering, everybody has a fuzzy phase in the beginning right?
Also... with some of my dreads, the roots are not knotted at all, some up to two inches from my scalp, will that fix itself, or am i doomed to loose roots for all of mydreadlockedlife to come?
