I guess first off I need to clarify that I'm in week 9 of my dread journey and my hair is CRAZY messy and pieces are growing together slightly. I havent gotten a twist in about 5 weeks or so, as I have read on here and now my hair is to the point where my employer is saying something about it. I know its time to tidy them up a bit. I also am aware that twisting them really doesnt do anything for them but make them look neater. I guess my question is can I twist them with some vitamin E and some basic gel to help them stay a little neater? I honestly have even thought about latching them to help them stay neat.
Where do I go from here to keep them neat and properly headed towards dreading? I know I probably still have a long way to go..I wish I had a roadmap to perfect dreads. I guess part of the beauty is in the unknown.
