Dread Maintenance

I wear a cotton tam at work during the day. Any other time I just let it hang, or on occasion very loosely tied back.I learned the hard way to let my hair dry COMPLETELY before putting it in a hat.

About 24" from the part in the middle of my scalp. Almost halfway down my back.

I'm lathering and scrubing my scalp, my hair gets suds too but I mostly focus on cleaning my scalp. I bought the unscent liquid soap, I'll have to get the pink sea salt spray on my next order.

Yeah, I should've specified "separating". I'm simply pulling apart the existing dreads, I'm trying to leave the rest alone and let it "do its thing".

Thanks for the reply. I'm washing with Bucks County Soap residue free shampoo. I'm separating and air drying since its the summer.

Dread Maintenance

Hello all, I'm new to this site and excited about my dreads taking shape. I'm a caucasian male with naturally straight, medium length hair.

I started dreads about 6 months ago. No combing, only washing. About 1 month in I formed 3 locks out of a dog mat/congo near the back of my head. Now 5 months later I have 6 dreads well on their way to maturity.

I've read that salt water is good for the formation of dreadlocks. Will soaking my hair in salt water before washing in the shower help the rest of my hair, (particularly the front), along into dreads?

TIA
