When you say it will cause weak spots... is that just while they are forming? Or does it do it too when they are mature?

Hi. That sounds normal to me. The roots will tighten naturally, it just takes time, the hair dreads back toward the root. Tying them back can cause weak spots though. Starter methods will loosen up before they tighten properly. It sounds very normal.

Younger locks almost always have between 1-3 inches of loose straight hair at the roots. That's normal. As they mature it will shrink to between 1/4 and 1 inch. Ponytails will slow down the process and require more separating to prevent congo's. But you sound like you're on the right track
