how did you start it at the top? did you loop it like in this illustration (also i do it this way in my wrap video if you need a better look at what's going on). i notice the loop like this works better than just trying to knot it there or anything, that starts sliding & loosening quickly. & it could just be your dreads are tightening so anything tied around them will get loose after a little bit. if you have young dreads it might get looser more quickly, now that mine are getting some knottiness happening instead of just straight hair they stay longer than they used to.

speed wraps and the x wraps are only temporary at best they will loosen and fall apart fast to make wraps morepermenant they gotta be the fancier knotted macreme type so look up chinese staircase as an example of 1 type iof knotted wrap that cn be modified to dual chinese staircases or if you alternate direction it creartes a ridge or double ridhge they look way better last way longer (5 years compared to a few weeks)
