Should I stick with my neglect method or switch to crochet?

General Questions

Your hair is gorgeous, don't ruin it with a crochet hook.

I use a brush and semi permanent stain on mine, imo it's less damaging. I realize that not everyone enjoys blue, red and purple hair though.

Regarding shampoo, somewhere I saw @soaring-eagle mention a charcoal shampoo that isn't listed on the dreadlockshampoo.com website and also that baking soda can weaken hair.

I've seen elsewhere, that dreads should be soaked once a month in baking soda to prevent mold.

Does this charcoal shampoo do this?

Or is it necessary to use anything as a monthly soak, if you're already using a great shampoo?

I uploaded pics of the back of my hair that I took today before separating again.

Maybe I should hold off on the spray, until my hair calms down a little.

It does seem to be dreading fast, I'll try the bar next. Maybe alternate between the 2.

I tried going longer between washing my hair, but it's so hot and humid here that 4 days is the longest I can handle right now.

Also, the loose hairs are trying to make tiny dreads, should I be wrapping them around the nearest section, or will they figure out where to go on their own?

Over the last 2 weeks, my hair on the back and sides of my head has to be pulled apart daily to keep my sections from combining together. At the same time, several of my sections near the top have divided into smaller sections. Is this normal? Are there any tips for keeping them from tangling together so quickly?

I've been using the liquid shampoo and pink himalayan sea salt spray from dreadlockshampoo.com for about 10 days now. They are amazing products, smell awesome (the shampoo is Goddess) and most importantly, leave my hair clean, light, soft and without residue, which greatly has reduced drying time. My hair seems to be progressing quickly, as well.
