I've done a pretty good job at separating my dreads, but three on the side of my head are extremely knotted together. the one in the middle of the three used to be two, but those two congoed which was fine because they were pretty thin, but now they are dragging in their neighbors! I've been trying to separate them for a while, but nothing works. They all have a bead around them but that doesn't help at all. I don't want to cut my hair so I'm tempted to just let them congo...I would like some opinions on this from people who have had 3-4 dreads combine. Is it bothersome to have a dread that big? If I leave it alone will they eventually stop knotting together? Right now the knotting is only at the roots and the rest of the length of the dreads are pretty knotted up so I don't think they would join easily. I mean, it's only about 2-3 centimeters joined together, but there is no chance of pulling them apart at all. So what do you think I should do? Cutting it seems so awful...Help!
