leave it, or do something about it**

Leave them, they shouldn't be tight to the scalp.That would weaken your dreads which leads to dread drop.And could cause scalp pain and headaches too. When people tighten their roots it exposes their scalp and that also is very uncomfortable not to mention strange looking.The loose roots help your hair dread and swing and allow for movement.

yeah it makes alot of sense, i guess we can leave that for "designer" dreads. i started mostly rip and twist for the whole front. and neglect in the back. i love how i can start to feel them thinking under the surface hair. it only been about a week with the rt's too!
