My locks are 4 and a half years along and very mature...maybe a bit too mature.
They seem to keep tightening and have lost a lot of thickness. Most of them have shrank and are now hard and too tight! I originally started my dreads with the back combing method. However, I never used wax and my locks were quite loose for the first year or so...
I want to loosen them up and make the locked-up hair fluffier like it was before they were locked so hard.
Has anyone had this problem?
What would you recommend?
I was considering soaking my locks in conditioner and/or different kinds of oils. Also, I'm making it a point to stop palm rolling the mature hair that is locked up...
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'll include a pic from when my locks were a little over a year along and then a second pic from when they were about 4 years...
Ps-FIRST POST!
