Howdy yall! 
As some of you know my locks have been going through a lot of changes the past few months, and heres a perfect example that I need feedback on.
I got a Congo thats trying to seperate on its own...Do I seperate it? Or just keep letting it seperate on its own?
Here are some pics.
Thank you <333
leave it i doubt youv be able to seoerate that without exreeme harm it should self heal if not it'll be just all the more interesting
Yeah, but very early on in the journey. I had a bead that held the two together for well over a year, and even when I took the bead off, it was wrapped after. Thought that would be enough time to solidify together.
Is that the reason its coming undone?
Im afraid to wrap my hair, because everytime Ive wrapped my hair it weakens the shafts dramatically and ends up breaking off later down the road after the wrap comes off.
very possibly
just like forced sections try to reject the sectioning
and especialy forcing a congo early isnt smart
you had to force it together over a year
instead of just letting it congo where it wanted wich takes 3 months typicaly
it may want to split into the dreads it wanted to be b4 u forced it
post a new discussion on why forcing congoes isnt such a great idea
I'd just leave them to it. If they're gonna separate, they'll do it on their own without any damage, as opposed to you forcibly separating them. I had a congo joined together very early on too, it was an accidental one. It completely took though and now looks like a normal dread, so pretty boring for a congo lol. So I think letting them do it on their own will ensure they stay joined up for life
So up until about a week ago, I was letting this congo do its own thing. Some of you may or may not know but Ive been having a issue with my locks becoming loose/breaking/etc. And this same congo has been developing a weak spot (like a few of my locks) where they join into one dread. I think its from constantly being twisted and bent (not palm rolling) at that same point, breaking hairs and whatnot.
In anycase, I decided to wrap where it was weak in the attempt to strengthen that part, and to prevent loosing a huge chunk of hair over time. You can see in the first pic, that at the start of the wrap, its almost half thickness of the rest of the lock.

Now in the second picture, i tried to it to show how its still split into two for about half the lock. It was three, but now its just 2. Im contemplating cutting/ripping them apart, because I feel that would help with the weak spot because they are seperate and want to go in different ways. I would cut/rip the bottom lock (because it is thinner) at the start of the wrap, because that would also reinforce the other lock's weak spot. But would that mean I would have to have this wrap on the the rest of the locks life? Will they ever mold together from being wrapped together?
Any advice is appreciated.
