Naturalizing dreadlocks after using loose hair tool (dreadheadhq)

Since discovering this forum over the weekend and through personal conversations with SE I am thinking I would like to allow my dreads to 'naturalize' more. I started my dreads with DHHQ products (not wax) and have been pretty diligent about taking care of loose hairs and pulling them all in with my Loose Hair Tool, but I am starting to think I might like my dreads having more 'character' as it were. I think it might reflect my personality more. The more I look at the natural dread photos on here, the more I appreciate and admire them.I am just OCD enough that loose hairs about make me twitch, LOL. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me overcome that and let my dreads start to do some of their own things?

LOL That's a good idea. I have 51 dreads. ^_^ I'll have to try that!

two thing that helped me,take an extra step back from the mirror,or wrap your loose hair around the roots if it's annoying you.

Let go of your OCD for one week, it goes away.Sometimes you will fall into the habit of the OCD curse but you will get over it.Everything will fall into place.Looking at dreads pictures is one thing that made me decide to go natural.But one of the things that helped most was that I couldn't be bothered to "fix" my hair, lol.

an extra step back from the mirror? how about take the mirror to the curb and say goodbyeuse shadows instead if u see a dread in a shadow stick out weirsd or a loose strand flapping in the wind just smooth it with your handi hardly ever look in a mirror anymore i mostly use shadows

I make coils... I sell them in my Etsy. I should add myself to your shop page, but I'm too lazy atm, LOL. I haven't had the patience to teach myself crochet. The loose hair tool is more like a latch hook than a crochet hook.

(This is a video I created about how to use it. ^_^)

holy crap that thing looks huge and u push it through like 3-4 inches of dread..owww..several of my dreads are thinner then that thingdefinately add your etsy when u get a chance
