Yes, everyone gets to deal with loose hair. Because of the natural hair growth/shedding cycle loose hair really never goes away. Eventually individual hairs get pulled into dreadlocks. Just remember other people may not notice the all the loose hair you are seeing.Sea salt helps, however rinse your hair out after an hour or two later. I stopped using a salt water spray after I managed to clog a spray nozzle with salt water.Other than salt water sprays:1. If you have an old wool sweater that you aren't wearing any more or at the moment. Put it on top of your pillow case as if it were a pillow case.2. Go outside on windy days and just enjoy the outdoors.3. Keeping your hair clean helps out.

Don't speed your process, these dreads are meant to teach you the absolute understanding of patience.
