i think i have to comb out my dreads, been having them for 7 months but they're very damaged from a dread permanent, so it dosent go too well with the new growth.
would you recommend combing them out and start all over again without a dreadperm?

how about you just leave them be till the new growth is two inches or more then cut off the dread perm? they you can have nice dreads and keep all the sectioning.The damage from the perm will never be repaired, combing it out will only damage it more, so you may as well suck it up and stick it out until you can cut it off if you hate it that much.Again, combing in this case will do nothing to reverse the damage to your hair.
Combing them out won't really do much since that hair is destroyed already. You can either cut it all off or let it grow cutting the permed part a little at a time.
I only recommend the first if you want to do it all natural. They are already sectioned and growing, might as well let it keep growing unless it's physically uncomfortable.
shes right altho the permed parts can look and feel very different so many many dread perm victims do indeed chop off the permed parts once new growth comes in

That's my plan SE. If it ends up looking ok (and it may as my hair is starting to feel silky in places again as if I just conditioned it) I'll leave it be, but if the ends of my dreads look fried all to hell I'll probably cut them off.
That does bring up the question though, what is the correct way to trim a dread? My mind has a visual of a dread completely unraveling at the new ends.
