Ok. Let's start with this. Your locs are babies--- newborns. You are putting them in water. Salt water at that. So first you need to learn the five stages of locs https://www.byrdie.com/stages-of-loc-hair-400344 Next. Your hair will frizz and unravel. That's how locs grow. But the funny fact is---salt water helps dreadlocks form faster. (that's why white people buy sea salt spray for their hair.) So salt water is not hurting your hair. BUT Salt water Can Cause Damage: Because salt pulls out moisture, excessive use can lead to dryness and brittle hair over time. ⭐️Residue: If you swim in the ocean, salt and sand can get trapped inside the loc matrix. It is extremely important that you wash the sand out of your locs. Remember this is no different from any other hairstyle when you are swimming in the ocean without protection, you must wash your hair afterwards. Salt water helps by Accelerates Locking: The drying effect helps loose hairs knot and tighten into locs much faster.Reduces Frizz: It tames flyaways and new growth by encouraging hair to bind to the existing loc.Absorbs Excess Oils: It draws out dirt, oils, and buildup. If you hate frizz, then locs are not for you. Locs form by the hair curling over under and around itself to form the loc. They will be frizzy for months until they mature. You have a softer grain of hair, which means it may take a little longer for your lock to form but if you are in saltwater daily, your locks will probably form pretty quickly. Of course, the other solution is simply to avoid getting your hair exposed to salt water. Some are silicone, some are fabric..., they come in sizes--- and will keep your locs dry.

Then simply shampoo when you are done surfing. It is imperative that you mist your hair daily. Plain old spring water (or distilled)in a continuous mist bottle is all you need. ps: I can't tell from that pic but it looks like you have a center part. Did you choose that? What grid pattern are you? What size did you choose?
