I split a bunch of my 2-year-old ones a few months ago, and yeah, you do lose some hair during the process because it breaks hairs (just like separating roots) and there's also a lot of loose hair inside the dreads from natural shedding that have nothing to hold on to anymore. It looks scarier than it is, trust me. Just treat them gently and leave them alone, they will strengthen up within a few weeks. Mine have settled down and are finally gaining some thickness again.

How did you split them? I hope you didn't use scissors!

Here are the two split apart, you can see how tiny they are....I don't know if I should keep them tiny although everywhere else I have BIG dreads, or if I should put them back together....

The one with the less dreads is the side I just re-did but then I twisted the two together and put a bead on it and im hoping that in months it will lock up. But now Im afraid to shower! Ugh

So today I decided to split one of my dreads because it wasn't dreading at all due to wax (which I NEVER use anymore) I split it and SO MUCH HAIR came out of it, like tons on the bottom so instead of it being long it shrank about 4 inches, now its a barely there dread and that part of my hair looks like im bald. Now I don't know what to do because I have two tiny tiny tiny dreads that are barely like 4 inches long and the rest of my hair is down to m shoulders.....ugh

Should I combine those small two again?

Hi everyone! what do u think TNR or neglect?..

Introduce Yourself

At time I feel the same way. I did TNR with a little backcomb about two months ago, and I like mine a lot but I feel that my sectioning is a little off. for example, I have more dreads on my left side then my right, and I'm hoping they will even themselves out. However, I do love the crazy randomness of my TNR dreaddies and their random sectioning. Gotta just try to embrace them because ya can't turn back now

little amount of dreads

Thank you guys! my only concern is that I will have supa thick dreads on my left and tiny ones on my right side! oopsy

I only have around like 20 or more dreads. Def. not more than 30....is that normal? And by normal I mean will that look bad when they grow out and get to be real?

uneven dreads!

Introduce Yourself

I know I shouldn't be worrying because I have kinda just been letting my dreads go after initially starting them up and sectioning them. However, now (about a month or so later) I have noticed that on my left side my dreads are fatter and I have more of them than on my right side. For example, I have about 11 on my left and only 8 on my right. It's really bothering me because even if it isn't so noticable there is definately a difference. My left side of my hair even poofs out a little more. Is there anything I can do other than wait it out and see if the problem fixed itself?
