Welcome. But it looks like everything you are doing for maintenance is only going to destroy your locks. Not help them...
Palm rolling, for one, does only 1 of 2 things. It'll either do nothing, if you do it lightly, it'll just need to be redone the next day, and the next and so on. It can actually slow down the process. If you do it hard and a lot, it;ll irrevocably destroy your locks. Check out my video on what palm rolling did to 5 of my locks. I did it for just the first week and 6 years later I am still trying to figure out how to fix the damage.
Crocheting, I just flat out damaging. There's no way to "safely" do it. Crocheting breaks your hairs into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the hair at the tip of your locks is no longer attached to your scalp because it's so chopped up. It's attached to broken hairs, that are attached to more broken hair and more and more until finally it attaches to your scalp. This makes them so weak, that in time, as they grow, just the weight of all your hair can make them snap off at random places. Every time you crochet, because it breaks hair, it makes them more frizzy, needing more crocheting. If you left them alone, they will eventually fix themselves. But the healing process takes months and months. Take a look in the recovery forum and talk to people who have crocheted before.
Also, crocheting makes your locks so overly tight that they get hard and stiff. This is not how locks should feel. Mature locks should be soft and spongy. Hard locks retain water longer and can grow mold and mildew inside of them.
Rubber bands pinch your locks too tightly ad create weak spots that can make your locks break off eventually. Even if they are put of loose, they are elastic, and pinch your hair tighter than a bead or wrap will. They can break and do get sucked inside of your locks. Once lost inside, they can and do rot causing mold and mildew to grow. If you want to keep them separated, use beads. They look nicer, and won't ruin your locks.
As for the products... Lock Peppa is overpriced and very devastating to the health of your locks. And the Gel leaves residue that doesn't wash out easily which again causes issues with mold and mildew. The only gel that has proven itself to work is the locking gel from dreadlockshampoo.com. It is completely water soluble and is designed to wash out it just plain water. It even starts to break down within the first day and by the 3rd, it's completely gone. There's no residue at all left
