I neglected my hair for about a month and then twist and ripped it so it's been about three months since I have started the dreading process. But about a week into the twist and rip method the dreads started to loosen and hairs started popping out ( i think it was my shorter layers coming undone) I haven't palm rolled or crochet my hair, I have always had healthy hair and I'd hate to destroy it from crocheting. Will they tighten up? I have been thinking about starting over and just neglecting them again since I have a job where it doesn't matter how crazy my hair gets now. Also i have heard different stories about washing hair. I haven't washed my hair probably more than 6 times because I noticed when I did the dreads would loosen up faster but when I do I use baking soda or sea salt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
