Hi guys, so I've only been dreading for 2 months but I've noticed a lot of white dots attached to the end of some of the hairs and I'm pretty sure it's the hair follicle. Anyway, it's making my dreads really rough and not very nice to touch at all. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this? It's kinda scratchy on my back and my boyfriend doesn't really enjoy touching my hair because of it.
Mine get like that once in a while. It ebbs and flows. Sometimes they'll stick out, and sometimes they get sucked back in. You could get some jojoba oil and gently massage it into your locks, or use aloe. If you want a certain scent, you can mix whatever you want with the jojoba oil. Obviously, you won't need much. But it'll help soften your locks up.
You could also do an ACV rinse. That helps soften your hair up
they really shouldnt and really shouldnt be all that many to make em feel rough u can pick them off with your fingers but wonder why you have enough to make em feel that way were they agressivly backcombed have u done root rubbing or anything that could pull alot out at the roots
The only thing I've done was lightly TnR them in the beginning and thenseparatesince then. Idk maybe they just seem so rough because my hair was so soft to begin with and I'm not used to it. I haven't crocheted or backcombed or palmrolled or anything like that.
I'll try out the jojoba oil. I have a bottle of it because I used to use it on my face to make my skin less oily.
Thanks for the replies 
Yeah I shed a crazy amount of hair before I dread my hair. Like more than normal I think. I'd have handfuls come out in the shower and then even more throughout the day. I don't have bad scalp though, just thick hair. Could that maybe be the reason? It seems that only the bottom layers of my dreads are scratchy and not really the top. That is still soft. Also the thicker parts of my dreads where it is knotting up the most if the most rough.
