I too have loops and bumps. there are few things im worried about though its probably nothing. I have one dread that at the roots its just split in two and meet again in an inch. like a tuning fork if you know what that looks like. and my under layer of dreads seem like they could fall apart. the hair is straight but still together, I dont see how that works, it just seems like if I tug on them in the slightest they will split apart. Im scared to seperate for congos they seem so fragile
