My dreads are about 2 months old, I have been washing with baking soda (but not acv because my hair is super soft and I didn't want them to unravel) I twist and ripped myself, and I guess I got a lot of crossed hairs in my sections because every time I wash the roots fuse together and I have to rip them apart...is this normal? Should I just keep doing it? Am I damaging them? Will they stop doing this as they mature? Thanks.
pretty normal adfter all they knot up the most right after washing and yeathey settle down when mature
Mine are the same way and this started at about the end of my first month. I was separating every day, sometimes 2ce (and even on days I didn't shower.) Now I am only in my 4th month and I still have to separate fairly regularly, but definitely not as often (only when I shower now.)
Just keep doing it and eventually it will start to balance out a little bit more. If you stop, you will end up with thick congo dreads that you may not necessarily want down the road.
