Question about my roots

So I have a non-urgent question that I haven't been able to find an answer to online...

I've been growing my dreads for about a year. It's going well, besides the fact that my hair is quite fuzzy (it always has been, though - i have thick, curly, sometimes frizzy hair) and I have quite a bit of loose hairs around my scalp that annoy me.

I'm just wondering about my dread roots. I know how far they've grown - about 2-3 inches, I'd say - because I wrapped a couple dreads with some hemp string at the start of the whole process and I can see the total growth. They've been dreading naturally without me palm rolling them or hooking them or doing anything. The 2-3 inches of roots that have grown are pretty much completely dreaded and locking up.Is that normal? I haven't done anything to them and I'm just wondering why they keep dreading. I assumed at the start of this that the roots would grow out like regular hair, but they are dreading together consistently. Will this continue forever??!?!

Thanks!

haha you never had to do anything to start them dreading why would u have to do anything to keep them dreading this is why all thye misinformations so harmfull

my dreads started at a few inches they now are a foot past my feet

if the roots never dreaded i wouldnt have dreads would i? (expecialy since i never did a thing to start the tips)

dreads happen naturaly if u just let them so ofcourse the roots dread by doing nothing

I never used wax but....oh my...I started them off with crochet hook. I know..terrible.

A friend did them for me and I didn't realize that crocheting was so bad.

I haven't crocheted them for likeat least 6months, and I've been letting them go natural since then...

what should I do now? If i leave them alone will they ever recover, or will i have to crochet forever?!?! argh?!

they will recover but go through a extra fuzsy recovery period due to all the broken hairs

u shoulda known by how stiff your freinds dreads were and how many fell off

You've been in crochet recovery for the last 6 months, congrats!! That's why they're extra fuzzy.

Dreads and the journey are fastening. Just keep em clean and do nothing else, they do all the work, for free I might add.

Ok that's all very good to know..thank you all for replying!

I'm very happy to be in "crochet recovery"....i've beat the addiction...even though i hated it from the first day i started! They are a little fuzzy but honestly, I can tell they're improving every day...yay
