Hey there. Just wondering if anyone can give me some wise words about how to handle (or get over) the fact that I've got this flattened, spotty place on the back of my head where all my sections seem to spread apart, leaving me with this awkward empty-looking space on my scalp. I'm assuming it's from sleeping on that particular part of my head...which is sort of hard to control. But does anyone have any advice about how to deal with it? Should I sleep with my hair pulled back so that my dreads don't train themselves to give me a part back there? Does *anyone* understand what I mean by that?! I'm only in my 2nd week so it's not an emergency or anything =) but I'd like to know if there's anything I can do.

Lol I get that same thing (not dreading at the moment) but if I don't comb my hair, sections form and flare outwards just from the way the back of my head curls. You could always palmroll to straighten them but they will round themselves off over time so that wouldn't be necessary. The roots are probably getting knotted unevenly from sleeping on them and having more knots on one side of the section than the other (kinda like when one backcombs but focuses on one side of the root instead of all of them. As they grow they should even out, but yeah I guess you could try sleeping with your hair pulled back.
