Accessories putting a hault to dread process?

I'm now four months into my journey, and I've heard from a few cats that putting beads in your dreads can help them knot up faster. So the other day I put a couple beads onto about five of my dreads, and I wrapped some hemp twine around two of my bigger ones. So does anybody know whether this will help the process, slow it down, or not do anything?
Thanks~

should help

where u place the neads matters tho the closer they stick to the tip the better

or in the middle too huig towards the roots and might slow it a tad

That does make sense, Thanks for the tips
But what about wrapping an entire dread with hemp twine?

it can helpbut will squish them thin so the new growth is thicker with a long thinner tail after u remove em
