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

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?
