Dread Maintenance
If you did TnR its is normal.
They will loosen up then tighten right up again in time.

I wear a tam most of the time to cover up the crazyness on the top of my head at the moment.
Unfortunatly I disagreed, I have removed all but one.
Im glad I did however, the two on the back of my head literally took ALL of the back. It was uncomfortable.
Will re-start with TnR over the weekend, my journey does not end here! Its just taking a slightly different route.
(Lets hope this one shows.)
Oddly, my replys are not showing.
EDIT: Apart from this one it seems.
Hi,
Ive been strongly considering re-starting my dreads with TnR for a couple of weeks now as the natural way does not seem to suit me.
Sectioning as been a constant pain in the arse, despite doing it daily my dreads seem to want to eat up as much hair as possible. Resulting in only having about 15 dreads, about 5 of which have no signs of dreading so far.
One baby dread in particular seems to be trying to eat half my head.
Did a single TnR on the right side of my head, roughly 1 inch section and it became myfavouriteovernight.
Im 6+ months into natural dreads so this decision doesnt come lightly but so far I am siding towards the decision of slathering myself in olive oil and combing the lot out to restart with TnR.
Is there anything I can do to salvage them at this point?
Might as well leave them.
Looser or tapered ends are better for your dreads anyway as they help drain water from when you wash.
