how to keep my locks healthy and not thinning out??

General Questions

hello, i have 5 year old dreads.. i do the baking soda and acv wash.. i also use rasta get to twist them occassionally. My scalp still feels dry and thats telling me that my hair isnt too healthy. Im getting some thinning at the root mainly in the back in my head.

What are some products or things i can do to help my hair become more healthy and thicker?

Help! Save My Dreads

5 year old dreads i have residue build up. for three years i used the following

**Beeswax, proclaim neutralizing shampoo, and some clobby conditioner.

i now understand why i have build up..

LATELY ive used

** baking soda wash, mango lime locking gel for maintenance.. thats all i use.. IM STILL getting build up! small white spots in my thin dreads.. what am i doing wrong? i dont wash my hair often because it can make my hair look lionistic sometimes lol. could this be the gel, dandruff? should i wash more??

ive found out that dipping my hair in blazing hot water and palm rolling a single dread for ten minutes can help the residue disolve.. also whats this de solv it you speak of?? i would really appreciate some help on this situation. i just want spot free dreads like u

os i use the twisting method
