Are rubber bands a bad idea?

I've had my dreads for about 2 months now and everyday it seems there are more loose hairs at the root. I've used rubber bands to put them back where they belong, but there are a few missing!

yes that is a very bad idea leave the loose hairs atthe roots alone they belong there rubber baqnds dont

the missing rubber bands might be permenabtly inside the dreads now where they melt and dry rot leavi8ng a sticky gunk forever

after just 2 days removung them removes klknots that formed in a week they can be swallowed

they can leave dents ansd causee weak spots

u never put rubber bands in dreads never tie em back with them they dont belong in dreads at all

Allright. Nope, it's nothin at the roots, just some in the middle on random spots and mostly out in the tips. So i maybe dont have to mess with the scalp.. I will try to look for a "swedish" type of that. I've tried to do some heavy bs wash and it got just very little better so i started to wonder what the heck it was :P

Bless!

The fabric ones should be fine, but spending lots of time with them tied back can hinder development. Using a bandana or something is even better, because it doesn't add stress to any specific area.
