hey guys so heres the deal: ive had dreads for liiiike 9 months and they're very well locked, but prior to me dreading up i had the bright idea to use a chemical on my hair to straighten it. this ruined my hair (kinda like what they do at salons) and broke off alot at the scalp. now that was like a year ago, so i have all these chunks of loose hair all over my scalp and I CANT GET IT 2 DREAD!!! ill post some pix

i second the t&r on the bigger sections. if you have hair that belongs to one of the already locked up dreadlocks than you could use a tapestry needle and sew them into the correct one.
ive tryed t&r like twice and backcombing at least once! it just falls out in the shower :/ and ther arent any dreads close enough for the hair to go into... lol

then just put a bead on the bigger chunks to encourage knotting and the rest of the loose hairs just leave it. i'm sure it will all work out in the end anyway. btw, i tried t&r and backcombing before going natural and none of the starter methods would stay in my hair either.
