New Dreadlocks
Introduce Yourself
I recently started dreadlocks in my hair. The newest are about 3 months old and the oldest are about 4 months. I used the twist and rip method, and have never crocheted or anything. I sometimes use a sea salt solution to help them lock, but other than that I just wash them about once a week. I''ve been using Vital Goods dreadlock shampoo, but recently switched to Vicki's, and I like it much better.
About a month ago, I soaked my hair in a baking soda/water/lavender essential oil solution for thirty minutes or so because I had buildup in my dreadlocks from poor rinsing. Afterward, however, my dreadlocks became EXTEREMLY tangled and loopy. I am aware that loops and bumps are perfectly normal, and I was starting to get some before the soak, but literally right after I took my hair out and rinsed and dried it, they were crazy loopy. Any thoughts?
