There are SO many forums on this site that its hard to go through all of them to find the answers to the questions I need. I started my dreads about 2 weeks ago (rnp) I was trying to just leave them so that they could dread on their own but I have really fine hair and every time I washed them with just natural shampoo they would fall out more and more with each wash (washed every 3 days). So till last night I had straight hair all over and just a couple dreads, my friend said enough is enough and rubberbanded them and backcombed them. Some of my problems I have been finding isthat my roots tend to flatten out after I sleep and makes it look like I am balding all over (due to my fine hair, I have a lot of hair just fine). Should I be doing something to prevent this from happening? (any tips from fine hair ladies) would smaller or bigger dread make me look like im not balding? I really love the look of women that have dreads where its loose and volumized at the roots but yet the dreads look still solid and clean through out the rest of the hair...Any tips for these type of dreads? Sorry I am so new to this but I LOVE dreads so any tips would be so helpful on my journey.Namaste!
