I have read that using salt water on your dreads helps them to tighten,but is it a good to soak your hair in salt water when you are TRYING to form dreads?
if you're going all naturale, soaking them in salt would be good. the salt will make it nattier, naturally.
If you don't want to soak, you could always make a salt spray solution (1/4 cup celtic sea salt dissolved in 2 cups warm water and shaken up in a spray bottle. Spray on dreads and roll, just try to avoid your scalp because salt can make your scalp itchy.
Man, I can't wait to get my bum to the beach. I have a salt spray solution, and it seems to help. ^_^ Go for the soak, man!
