Sticky Hair

Dread Maintenance

I just showered and I noticed that my hair feels kind of sticky at the roots in most of my head. My hair has felt kind of strange since I began washing with Bronner's. I wash almost everyday with a bucket and cold water, I apply the soap straight onto my scalp. I've only been doing that cause my scalp kinda smells but my dreads don't. I started with this like on Friday? Is that what's happening? Or am I washing too often? I do rinse after I've washed out the Bronner's, just with water though. I rinsed with vinegar on Friday-Sunday but I didn't today. I don't leave the vinegar on for long just like 5 seconds and I rinse out with water .Am I not rinsing correctly?

Yeah, I did the baking soda first and the vinegar followed. I also noticed that the dandruff has decreased but I will continue to apply it. I had the locks in with rubber bands and I took them off last night cause the hair was like wrapping onto it. My hair looks a bit normal now (:Anyways, thank you all for this information. This was extremely helpful! I think I will just let it go all natural, you know? :D

So, I gave myself a head full of dreads on Saturday. While I was doing them, the ones that felt tight began to feel loose. I thought it was maybe normal so I didn't really pay much attention to them. I applied some aloe vera to them on Sunday, I heard it helps it lock? Then today I washed them with ACV, baking soda, tea tree oil, and really cold water. I let my hair air dry, then I noticed they were really loose. They are not even knotted it's just hair and the tips are nice and tight others are just like whatever. I'm considering taking the loose ones out and redoing them. I also have dandruff, I made a rosemary and spearmint tonic. Hoping that gets sorted. Anyways, what should I do?
