Hello my name is Matt, I am new to the dreadhead community I've only had mine for about 4 months now. I have read many articles about how to wash my dreads and dry them, but that seems to be where the advice stops. I am looking to get some pointers on what to do after I have washed and dried my dreads in order to keep them nice and tight together. What I have been doing so far is twisting them all the way down to my scalp and clipping them in place. Then I put on abandannaand sleep on them over night and untwist them in the morning.
Last night was the first night I just took a shower and left them alone. I have thereoccurringproblem of loose undreaded hair at the roots, which I'm told is normal, but what can I do to help aid the dreading process.
I also have some that are so skinny they just look like many strands of hair until you get to the ends
I'm not sure if there is really anything I can do to help the skinny ones but any advice is helpful. The girl who did these for me did not leave me with too much instruction, I hope twisting them and sleeping on it has not hindered my dreading process.
Thank You
-Matt
