So it's been close to 2 months since I got my hair dreaded. Basically I considered dreads for awhile before I got them and I thought it would be best to go to a local Jamaican lady that did dreads but that turned out to not be a great idea because I think she is so used to doing African American hair that my hair she wasn't used to. She did the double strand twists and after almost a month, I was very unhappy with them and went to another woman and she used a crochet hook and spent about 5 hours doing them and I loved them at first. They locked up very quickly. Actually my hair is very curly as is. I'll put a picture of my hair before I dreaded it. I don't know anyone that is white with hair as curly as mine so that helps with the locking process. What I'm wondering is, are my dreads okay? Am I just being paranoid? My problem is it seems that the first 3 or so inches from the roots up seems very knotted and tight. I don't mean locked up, it actually looks knotted. So the rest of my dreads after that 3 or so inches is much fatter and not knotted at all. I'm not sure if its just tighter near the roots or if maybe she interlocked them, which I've read about and seems to be a horrible idea. I'ts only been about 3 weeks since she did them and maybe I'm just paranoid or thinking maybe after time they will even out and be uniform thickness. because I know eventually the loops dissapear after all the hair has tightened up. Let me get some of your opinions to ease my mind or tell me where to go from here. I'll attach all the pictures of the dreads that bother me most.
