hello to you! and welcome to the site (family), youll meet so may beautiful people here, and learn so much. i agree maan, the journey and the things that happen in ones life while on the journey are sooo precious, memories that will last a lifetime and keep you appreciating your dreadies throughout the journey its quite beautiful. and good to hear about your friends! maybe they will be influenced by your wise decision and re-dread naturally! (some of my friends thought the idea was completely taboo, they claimed onlyAfricanhair dreaded! HA!) but anywhooo, i too am going through this "webbing" process, i fix this withseparating. maybetossin a couple beads in there ( if they just wont stop webbing together). if the problem is worse than im making it out to be perhaps talk to Soaring Eagle. But again welcome, and i wish you very well through the rest of your journey!

u definately want to seperate to prevent that web from becomming congos
it is dreading in its ownway but needs the seperating to help define the individual dreads

Thank you so very much for the welcome, the good wishes and the good advice!
Brandy, I think it may be a little late for my friends to re-dread, they crocheted, but they already have beautiful waist-long dreads, they have stopped doing as much maintenance though.
Amanda, I was afraid that separating could slow down my progress, but after seeing the pictures of the back of your head I'm going to start separating right now!, nice progress!
AlwaysByourself, I'm happy it made sense and I could make myself be understood xD good luck to you too!
And soaringeagle, thank you because you have helped me since the day I discovered this forum, if not directly, through your good advice to other people, you truly are an inspiration. By the way, I use two spoonfuls of BS dilluted in 1 litre (I think that's more or less 5 cups) of water. Let it in for at least half an hour, then rinse with just a lot cold water, as I found the ACV let my dreads a bit too soft and kind of loose (would use it again if dandruff appeared, which is fortunately not the case). I tell you just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. To get it dry, I press the hair against the scalp with a towel, then sun dry if I can, at night I use a blowdryer, could that be slowing down progress?
So, I'm gonna start separating in the back of my head, and get some beads as I said, I will be glad to share my progress and will be glad to read from yours! Thanks again, you are all too nice people! Gracias!
