I have used a salt spray every now and then - and had to rip em apart as i dont want huge chunky ones but thats about it. 
I have been only washing it weekly or as long as poss in between as it seems to loosen the locks alot.....however iv been getting mixed feed back on that.....gonna go get some apple cider vinegar today and some rosemary and tea tree to make my own wash up
How long u been on the natural route? do you have any pics? im just over 2 months in on mine. I love reading storys on this site - i have to come back for reassurance all the time that im doing mine the right way
i put a desert spoon on bicarb into one of them lil white party plastic cup things - that worked well for me hair is lush and i just did about quarter filled with apple cider vinegar and then topped with warm water (in one of them cups too) rosemary oil drops in each too
i stopped brushing my hair on April 27th - going natural method - i have been loving my journey so far.....slow though. A friend of mine crochet hooked her hair a few weeks ago and hers looks good, so to remind my self that im doing it good im constantly coming back to this site 
lots of info
