So my dreads are about 3 mths old and recently every morning I wake up and they are connected on the bottom... Like 2 or 3 dreads all clumped on the ends only. I have been seperating them cause I don't want massive dreads.
Question: Am I slowing the process? Should I just let them be? It seems to me counter productive to be ripping out knots cause that whatI want.... Any suggestions would be great 
Thanks.
dont seperate untill theres something to seperate...knotted clumps that are too big or combining dont just seperate unknotted sections
My hair started to make huge clumps at the bottom even before it sectioned much so I separated a lot at first. It wasn't so much wasting the knots that bothered me as that I could hear my hair breaking no matter how gently I tried to pull them apart. After taking advice I used beads to keep the sections apart which either worked like a charm or gave my hair a breathing space while it decided it didn't want to be one big ball of tangles at the bottom. I don't know which it is but the problem seems to have reduced drastically and I hardly ever have to separate the ends any more.
Yes, I think you do need to keep separating them. Pull them very gently with a wiggling motion, preferably when your hair is wet. Hopefully it's just a phase and your hair will work out where it's meant to be soon.
