When I try to separate dreads (i do it for fun actually, it's a strange habit i have hahah, i actually prefer them thicker but sometimes i can't help myself not separating), they usually have these whitish flakes or whatever this is. What's wrong? It's scaring me. I cut a little bit of one of the dreads and attached pictures.

Here I am with an update. So I tried your method and it didn't seem to work, also I didn't notice any minerals at the bottom. I think my central heating might filter out the hard water, but I'm not sure. After trying a few methods, I finally managed to dissolve the baking soda. What I did was after mixing the BS with water, rosemary and everything else I boiled the whole BS mix and it dissolved.
Thanks a lot! I will try this method and come back with results.
I can see the flakes when it's still wet. Hmmmm, I'm not sure, but I think I actually saw in the front hair something a little gooey, not sure tho, could be just water. I don't know if I have soft water or hard water here in Romania. Any way to find out? Would really appreciate it if you could tell me about this boiling method.
Thanks for the reply! It never itches. When I said the BS doesn't dissolve I mean it doesn't dissolve in the bottle I put it in. After I wait for 20 mins and then rinse it out with water it's no longer on my head, so when I apply the ACV rinse there's no BS left on my head. But how can I make the BS dissolve, tho?
I don't see why the BS method wouldn't work, I must be doing something wrong. I already always add essential oils (rosemary and teatree). One thing I noticed is that the baking soda doesn't seem to dissolve at all in the water (when I mix it with water in the bottle), even tho I always shake the bottle. Should it dissolve? Also, after pouring the BS mix over my head I can see a lot of the baking soda powder on the top of my head.
Isn't there anything else you suggest? I live in Romania and it would be kind of expensive to get the shampoo. I always use water as cold as I can take. Can you recommend me something else?
While my hair doesn't get as oily as it used to, this dandruff problem is getting really really frustrating. I wash every 2-3 days and I can still see dandruff flakes in my hair right after washing. What am I doing wrong? This is how I wash my hair: I fill up a 1 litre bottle with water then add 100g of baking soda, 4 drops of teatree oil and 4 drops of rosemary. I then wet my hair with water then pour the bottle with the baking soda mixture over my head, go do something else for about 20 minutes and then rinse the baking soda out with water. After that, I pour a bottle of 1 litre of water and 30ml ACV over my head and then rinse it out right away. So, any suggestions? Thanks!
Cool! Are you going to go with the neglect method?
