Haha this is true, people can be quite strong in their dreading convictions. I have just left them, got beads on them atm. I just assume it will do something eventually and will just leave them. The roots are flat but like a big chunk of matted hair, I assume this is normal? Will see what happens haha!

Yeah I think you'll get the hang of it. I did have a wonderful time camping. It so nice to be in God's creation like that. Before I got saved I never really appreciated the beauty of it like I do now. I've been saved 5 years this last July. I actually came back to the Lord not far from you where I was born and (born again) Shreveport.

Ok, it's kinda hard to explain, but here goes. Take the end of your dread and kinda of rub it between your fingers and tease it upwards until it's kinda a fluffy ball. Then take the new dread u made and at the top it should be straight undreaded hair. Make that hair kinda fan out in like a circle, then take the end of your existing dread and push it down into the center of that fanned out hair, and then wrap that hair around it. Hold it in place until u crochet that area and turn the dread while crocheting and move up and down the dread in that area while turning until it feel tight. It's better to be too thick there than thin. Hope that helps, maybe I need to make a video for u. Lol

Hey, sorry I've been away from the computer( camping)I added mine just gradually as I made them. From underneath in the back toasted the front. That way u got instant length in the back, and it doesn't look bad as u add to it gradually. Also that way some can mature faster and they don't have to all at the same time.

I attached mine with the extention hair on the outside. Don't worries about your roots, they will lock more with each washing. Do u ever do the sea salt water and spray it on? That really helps!:)

What do u mean, like my roots? There fine, just trying to separate so they don't grow together. It doesn't take me that long to backcomb a dread extention. Mine are small, I have 80 dreads. They don't have to be super tight b/c your going to crochet after u attach it. You want to hair at the bottom of your existing dread to be loose so u can have something to attach it to. Did u check out the video, it's very helpful. The lock pepper is unnecessary if u don't have it. What size crochet hook r u using? Under 1.0 is the best. I just crochet mine initially so they don't fall apart in shower.

You want your dreads to be somewhat tight b4 u add to them. I got 2 packs of hair and I think they were like $70 something each. Pretty pricey, but it's good quality.

hey there! i learned how to do the extentions on youtube. Just type in dreadlock extensions and one of the first few ones to pop up are a blond headed girl doing them. Its so easy, just go to sally's and buy human hair in your color or close and backcomb it. I then cut it in half. I only added about 4-5 inches on each of my dreads(i think its more natural) Then just kinda take the hair at the bottom of your dread and rub it until its kinda fluffy and take the dreads u just made and wrap the loose hair on the end around your real dread.Then crochet that area until its attached. Then crochet down the length of the new dread. The more u wash them the more they will feel just like you existing dreads. Hope this made sense, kinda hard to explain. Good luck! I think it makes a huge difference, for those of us who don't like super short.
