loos dreads and too much loose hair

Dread Maintenance

so ive had my dreads for about two years now and im starting to notice a lot and i mean A LOT of hair falling out of my dreads, im talking loose hair in abundance. now i feel as if i should mention that i did not back comb or anything to that effect. i just let the hair do its own thing naturally. my question is, if this continues will my dreads fall out completely? i love my dreads with a burning passion and am terrified of what will happen if they fall out. somebody please help me out with this, any natural dreadheads out there that have had this problem and knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated. im worried itll get so loose that ill just have to take them out and do it again... with love, a fellow dreadhead

ps i added a few pics so you guys can get the gist of whats going on

General Questions

ok so i have a HUGE phobia of letting my hair dread up and it turning into a giant uni dread before i have the time to seperate, has anyone started their dreads out and had a uni lock, or does it always start out into smaller peices before it congos into the grossest giant uni lock, andkeep in mind i have short hair, am i just scaring myself or can this really happen?

Dreads and human adaptation

History and Religious Significance

all of the religious retorts and replies here make me sad cant we all just get along with the fact that this is an interesting theory in human evolution?

Dreading Methods

hello my name is tyler rakowski and I'm a recovering wax addict. my first experience with dreadlocks ended in shambles, as well as clumps of once beautiful hair on the floor that resembled gineua pigs. and who may be to blame for this unfortunate yet seemingly all to common disaster?... JOHNNY CLEAN the devilish bastard sucked me into believing that wax was good and buy or products and use our tools, well guess what Mr. clean i did and t my hair was RUINED absolutely ruined. the oh so charming and happy way he showed his products and all of the videos he posted made me think wow that guy must really know what hes talking about. and the fact that his dreads were oh so perfect i was sucked in completely and by the end of my first month i was so intent on having perfect locs i put wax in my hair every day, and i dont mean a little bit i mean a freaking dollap of this stuff, and it just kept getting worse. not to mention the fact that the majority of products he was sellingthat may have had some benificial help were things like oh i dont know BOTTLES OF SEA SALT IN WATER just a side note dont use wax eets baaaaddddd
