Hi guys,
I'm new to all this and at 43, old lol!! Anyway, I had human hair dreadlock extensions a few months ago and overall, I'm pretty pleased with them. However, my question is, do I need to keep up with the maintenance? My own hair was not dreadlocked before the extensions where crochet hooked into my own hair btw. What is the worst scenario if I do nothing?
Thanks all 
crochet absolutely destroys dreads stop the crochet its horible for drads..its drad abuse
alzso most people hate extensions and chop them off
crocht will make them dread way slower and be extremely stiff and damaged, recovery from crochet causes way more frizzz from all the broken hairs
the worse thing that will happen is thy will not be more and mor e dammaged from the so called maintenance
by all means neer crochet again
dreads extend themeselvs
mine started at 4 inches (just from going camping) now thy are 10 feet
Thanks @soaring-eagle 
So, am I right in thinking that if I just leave them alone, they will still dread?
sure will
in fact if all you did was stopped combing they would have dreaded but if the crochets tight they will dread very slowly thats why light conditioning to loosen them up is recommeded
however.. extensions are not recommended on young dreads that are not mature enough to support them. if they are loose enough to dread the extensions might not stay on long
Awesome, thank you @lopenator
