Hey guys and gals :)

Have looked around the web for some stuff to tighten my dreads and come across this product from knottyboy (i know they are the evil ones, but still ;) )

http://www.knottyboy.com/shop/product/locksteady_tropical_tightening_gel/

Anyone tried it or got an opinion?

Stuff like Knottyboy sucks and such are not welcomed (cause i know wax is crap)

But my hair is getting loose and i got no wax and shit in it ofc. and i wash it with natural shampoo or BS.. What should i do? Give this a try or what?

I also got a few dreads that have a very weak root and I'm afraid they will fall off :/

Thanks a lot for your time :D

Okay, but what to do with the loose roots? I don't want any dreads to fall off, and it would be nice if they got more tighten, now they just get more and more loose it feels like..

I've had dreads for precisely 8 months today :D

I have done nothing to the roots.. it's only on lets say 2 dreads the root is weak.. And I think its because they are made by to little hair?

First starting to tighten now? :O they are made with a combination of crochet needle, backcombing and twist and rip.. I can upload a few pictures so you can see what I mean about loosen..
