srry dont know what was going wrong with my chat but what i was trying to say is the stiffness is definately the crochet thats 1 iof the clear signs i mean you can see the stiffness
mines very thick too my dreads are super soft and flowing as u cah see here
the only other cause of stigffness would be wax or heavy buildup
in some cases extreme dryness can cause stiffnes in spots but typicaly thats only spots not the whiole dread and u can feel how over dry it is
