I started using a tea spoon of white vinegar mixed in with eight ounces of water.to give my dreadlocks a decent conditioning when they got to dry. I also stopped adding a little bit of salt to the baking soda mix I use to clean my hair.
The best thing to do is not worry about them.
As long as your hair continues to go through its normal hair growth/shedding cycle you will always have some loose hair.
Seriously, the only maintenance you need to do for, your hair type, is keep your hair clean, condition when needed and pull your dreadlocks away from each other.
By the looks of things it seems as if you have a some matted sections already.
Okay thanks for your help, just a few more questions i couldn't find any baking soda, but we have Baking powder is that the same stuff? also do i have to rub it in my hair or just pour it over my hair? thanks for the help x

also, here's a thread that will give you second thought before you use any of those other products :D

funny how there's no mango or lime listed anywhere! It's personal preference though. I wouldn't put it in my hair the ingredients look sketchy but some people don't mind.good for you for not falling into that salon owners trap! I'm glad you stood your ground and in a few months your dreads will be glad too! Many Blessings
Oh and HOW DO I DRY IT??? I heard that patting my hair with a towel works, and then letting it airdry. BUt that makes my hair look a bit oily so I would like to towel dry it completely and if you know a way to towel dry it without taking the knots out that would be wonderful
