Welcome. Check the ingredients on your soap. I know some Mango lime products contain waxes.
And if you haven't heard before, be careful not to retwist. Retwisting causes a condition called Traction Alopecia, which leads directly to premature baldness
Welcome to the community Kritie. If you have never had dreadlocks before, then check out the dreaducation section at the top of the site. I see you are using Jamacian mango, if you are not African American, then that shampoo will be too conditioning for your future dreads. You are at the beginning of a wonderful journey that you will love every step of the way, so congrats. Here is a map of your area so you can see if you have hard or soft water. With soft water, most dread shampoos will work perfectly for you, but with hard water, many of them will leave behind a built up residue over time. If you have hard water, I recommend www.dreadlockshampoo.com products. The creator of them is also a member on this site, fantastic shampoos and bars. Enjoy your journey, you are in for a fun ride . How did you start yours?...peace
