So I just got my dreads last thursday and was wanting se tips on what to do with them. Some people tell me to just leave them alone and some people tell me to keep messing with them and twisting them. Any tips?

Yeah that's what I thought I should do. But I have really straight fine hair and I'm just scared they're gonna fall out cuz they're really frizzy and there's a bunch of loose hairs

Thanks so much. That's what I've been wanting to hear. I was really worried that they would just fall out cuz my hair is so straight and fine. But I guess they won't

Richie, read through this site -- there are tons of posts from people with newly-started dreads and don't understand why things are coming "undone". Read all the replies... dreadlocks are not an overnight thing, they take weeks and months to develop. Loose hairs, sections that come apart, and loops and bumps etc are all a NORMAL part of the dreading process.Whatever method you used to start your dreads, remember that it's just that -- a START. Your hair is going to loosen up and move around awhile before it settles down into knots. So don't panic.The best thing to do is leave them alone. Any extra fussing you do now is just going to mess with the process, and make you worry even more that they don't look a certain way.
