usually around 1 year they stop shrinking but it's different for everybody. A lot depends on weather or not there were any starter methods used and mainly what type of hair texture you have and sometimes the length you started with. Some people experience many stages of shrinking and then gaining length just to start with the shrinking again. Some people have very little shrinkage. So basically ya gotta wait and see! I started 9 months ago with hair to my bum and now it's at my shoulders and it has pretty much stopped shrinking now I *think*. :o)

Tea tree oil helps with dry itchy scalp

Everything with hair is cumulative. So, it may be okay for now, but it could become a problem over time. If your scalp begins to feel sensitive or sore then you may want to alternate with something else. Another problem is that if you wash so often (like daily), as your dreads thicken and mature and get much longer...you will find that they are staying wet for too long. Just make sure that they dry fully before you go to bed or stuff them into a tam or hat and you will be fine! Welcome to the group by the way...nice to meet you.

whatever works for u is fine
