are they joined at the roots?
the best way to join to dreads is simply to not seperate the 2 dreads
if u force em to join with a bead give em a good 3 months for enough new growth to come in to dread as 1 dread
otherwise just dont seperate them and sooner or later they combine (takrs rougghly 3 months)

you could try wrapping them together.. a few of mine combined nicely after being wrapped for a week or two

one thing you can do!!If you happen to have a loose hair tool/dread tool, you can use it to pull loose hair from one into the other as well which will help hold them together., I wouldn;t recommendelastic/rubber band at the roots, to snug tight.. your hair wiil break.. blessing.

thats a good idea. i'll have to see if my daughter will help me do that. i just want this lock to be stronger down the road.

yeah, that and they also pull on my scalp when they start to knot up. not good when you already get migraines.the thicker ones don't seem to do that as much.
now i just need to figure out how to do the wrap. i've seen people do a sort of x pattern down the length of the dread and i would like to do it that way instead of wrapping the whole thing.

yeah i know what you mean! the thin one's can feel pretty weak sometimes. good luck=]

i wouled never use a loose hair tool (harpoon) on my dreads! ouch its opainful eno9ugh to just watxch it used in vids..ouch
but i have alotta extremely thin ones
1 was as thick as the letter l on your screen andr that was a congo of 3 extremely thin dreads
and it was over 4 feet long and strong
but i haVE LET MINE CONGO AT WILL LATELY damn caps
i just dont seperate and they combine at the roots its not hard to do just let it ghappen
think about the purpse of a bead or wrap
it just prevents accidental seperatiomn so it becomes joined
but if u just dont seperate them u get he same effect
i constantly find new congos i just go thru every 3 months or so and make sure none are getting too huge
