roll over and go back to sleep

take a lump of play do or silly puddy

and lay a heavy book on it

after awhile its pressed flat

roll it over 45 or 90 degrees lay the book on oit..its pressed qsquarish

keep changing the angle and repeat and over time it gets rounder

sleeping on them 1 night mo=ight compress them flat

many nights they tend to go round

a year from now the 1 that stayed flat wukl be your fave cause its not boring and round

it will happen over time

u dont have to make dreads do anything

besides

round..as in circular..is an impossibility

it doesnt exist in nature

i dare u to find a perfectly round tree

your eyeballs not even round nor is your finger neck ..anything

why should a dread be riund when the hair itself isnt round..nor is the head..or a single blood vessel

a dread cant be flat either..flats 2 dimensional

the thickness of a single hair prevents perfct flatness

so a dreads always always always somewhere between flat..and round.. 2 impossibilities

so

since flatness..and roundness are impossible to reach

then shouldnt you accept whatever shape they happen to be since they have to be somewhere between flat and round?

the perfect shape is rhe shape they decide to be

ok thanks

and am i able to havw blunt tips if i still want them .. i know the dread holds more water but personally i think they look neater blunted

Leave them. As you move around in your sleep, your locks get squished in all directions. Some get flattened one day but rounded out another. Some may stay flatter. There's nothing you can really do to stop it. Just be patient, and most will round themselves out in time

If you really want blunt tips, you can. But wait until your locks are really mature to blunt them. Otherwise they won't hold, and you'll just end up destroying your locks more than they have been already from the crocheting. And you'll just have to keep trying to blunt them over and over again. When they're mature, it'll be easier to get the tips to hold in place.

But what do you think is messy about loose tips? As your locks mature, they aren't nearly as loose as they are in the beginning. You can almost not even tell that they are loose

Have some coffee.... Then wait. My jair used to try and dread while I slept and now that I am actually dreading I have noticed that sleeping reeeally helps with the process. They are already rounding out no matter how I sleep on them. Yes, they do get flat sometimes but they usually change by days end.Be well.
