im just impatient haha, its such a mess and i want them too look good, i know it will happen one day though!not oily, i dunk my hair in sea salt water and spray with sea salt water every couple days. i wash about 2 or maybe 3 times a week with that beautiful baking soda with essential oil mix. ive been doing that for about 2 and a half months. ive checked out this site many tiems before, just never made an account.I twist, rip, twist, rip until i get to the end, and its done really tight, and looks great, then about 5 minutes later it gets really really loose and its completly untangled by 2 days

Hello! new person, new question

Introduce Yourself

hey everyone, inve been dreading for 3 months now, i love it but i have a few problems and questions.around halkf my hair dreaded and locked up pretty well at this point, i started with backcombing. but the other half fell out completly, disliking the damaging idea of backcombing i decided to twist and rip the other half that has fallen out. i did it, they fell out again, and thats how its been going for about 3 weeks now, they never stay in for longer then 2 days, then i twist and rip all over again.is it bad to twist and rip half my head almost every second day???? i just want them to stay in, my hair has been long for 2years and its never knotted or dreaded naturally. so i figure i gotta help them.Also, im twisting the dread, ripping it and continuing.. i dont see how i can be doing it wrong. Maybe that most of the dreads will only rip about halfway up, and then its gets stuck.. even if the top half of hair is completly untagled. any suggestions?thanks everyone!namaste
