what happens if theres too much BS?

The problem is that this is only your 6th day. No one usually see much progress until a few weeks in. And they won't start maturing until months to a year.

You can't rush locks. It's a continual process of 2 steps forward and one step back. They will progress a little and then unravel a little. Then progress a little more and then unravel. This unraveling is what makes your hair kinky and ready to keep knotting. If you're going the natural method, it can take a little longer, but is more healthy. Time is the cost of healthy locks.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like your BS wash is a little heavy on the BS. In 3 cups of water I'd probably only put 2 Tbls of BS
