So up until about a week ago, I was letting this congo do its own thing. Some of you may or may not know but Ive been having a issue with my locks becoming loose/breaking/etc. And this same congo has been developing a weak spot (like a few of my locks) where they join into one dread. I think its from constantly being twisted and bent (not palm rolling) at that same point, breaking hairs and whatnot.
In anycase, I decided to wrap where it was weak in the attempt to strengthen that part, and to prevent loosing a huge chunk of hair over time. You can see in the first pic, that at the start of the wrap, its almost half thickness of the rest of the lock.
s Now in the second picture, i tried to it to show how its still split into two for about half the lock. It was three, but now its just 2. Im contemplating cutting/ripping them apart, because I feel that would help with the weak spot because they are seperate and want to go in different ways. I would cut/rip the bottom lock (because it is thinner) at the start of the wrap, because that would also reinforce the other lock's weak spot. But would that mean I would have to have this wrap on the the rest of the locks life? Will they ever mold together from being wrapped together?
Any advice is appreciated.
