Crazy loopiness!!! :)

Hey everybody! I'm about 5 months into the dread journey (started by backcombing). Over the last couple of months I've been getting some loops. I know this is normal and a good sign they are tightening. I was especially ecstatic because I hoped that was a good sign that the crocheting I unfortunatelydid was hopefully working its way out. So these days I do nothing with my hair. Let them do their thing. Weellll, let's just say like 80% of my dreads have crazy loops going on. Not just bumps, CRAZY looping, twirling goodness. Despite the fact that a lot of people dislike loops, I like them. They're doing what they're supposed to be doing. Plus, it's that constant reminder that my dreads arechanging/progressing.

Anyway, now for my question. Is it fine if the dreads are ridiculously loopy? I don't mind cosmetically, I just mean process-wise. I know loops are good. But like CRAZY loops? I don't really care if the loops stay or go looks-wise, like I said,I was just concerned that maybe too much craziness could indicate a problem at some point? Ikeep them seperated and whatnot, the dreads themselves are just kinda "misbehaving" lol. Maybe I'm just entering the adolescent dread stage everyone talks about? Lol

It's great. they should be. And it's also a good sing that the crochet damage is fixing itself

This Time last month this dread was this perfect four loop squigly. Just one month later and this how much it has tightened. I love it!!!! They evolve right before your eyes. i used to think they had to be perfect right away and it stressed me out to no end. Now i let them do what they want and much like you, have come to really enjoy the spontineity of their evolution. it's a beautiful thing, loops and all!
