You can be patient. At only a few weeks you don't even really have dreads yet. There will be many changes in the months/years to come. Just leave your hair alone and see what they become :o)

They are comming apart! But by edges I mean roots, that wouldv been a better way to put it

its normal for the roots to have from 1-3 inches undreaded at the rootsthat will slowly get less to about 1/2 inch a year or 2 from noweverything your dreads are doing is what they gotta fdo to dreadf i guess u backcombed and thought you had dreads? u didnt u had backcombed hair whish almost always falls apart sometimes completely but thats ok you never had to backcomb anyway ann u had to do was nothing and nothing is what you should do nowrelax..hair dreads..thats all u need to know and all you need to do is wait for it to dread

Get yourself an old wool sweater and put it over your pillow...I swear it works

I did backcomb mine, and within the first few weeks I was super paranoid that they were coming apart... but being lazy (thankfully :P) I left them and now a year in they are perfectly fine and knotted themselves up good and proper :D

I'm not too lazy, but it's weird cuz you think they'll never do what you want them to do. What is backcombing exactly?
