1 month into TnR dreadlocks

I just uploaded my 1 month album photos. My pics aren't great, but you can see how tight they were from the TnR at the root in the beginning and how they have loosened at the root and look much nicer and more natural now. I am entering a crazy stage, I think, every morning when I wake up I have another dreadlock that has gone totally loopy on me. They are tightening up nice on the length of the locks and never really came undone much like many complain about. Although they are fuzzier than a month ago, I don't think they are very fuzzy at all (obviously this could change any day) although I have had to make 3 new dreadlocks from all the extra hairs that have escaped from their designated locks.I have been washing 2x a week with baking soda rinse/ACV rinse and peppermint oil. I spray the length with a sea salt lavender EO mix 3 or 4 times throughout the day on the day prior to my wash and i think this helps to keep them tight and the frizzies at bay.I absolutely love them and am sad that it took me 10 years to finally lock my hair, but I can see where it may not have been right for me before now and I appreciate that. It feels like I have had them forever already. I thought I would dye them or use some extensions to make them more presentable or likable to me, but I LOVE them just the way they are. Lots of pride in knowing I did it myself. THanks for the info to this group
