My one month update! Loose hair is driving me nuts

What's up guys,Just reached my one month of having dreadlocks yesterday, and so far it's looking good. just the loose hair is bothering me on some day, well not really although their are times i just want to grab my crochet and maintain it lolAlso my hair is really straight and thick. I have done zero maintenance since day 1 and I pretty much let them do whatever they want. I hope I am doing it right. any tips for the loose hair sticking out?

Let me know what you guys think?

why s the loose hair bothering u? everybody has loose hair... only tip i can give u is wear a hat.wooly hat (tam) will keep your hair more together... and if its the look what s bothering u, u wont see it, cause it will be in a hat dont crochet it!

Your always going to have loose hair. Just get used to it. Soaringeagle gave me the best advice right after I started my dreads and was worried about loose hairs, and if they were locking, and loops, and on and on. He said "just forget that you have hair." After a couple of months you will have to start separating congos, if you want to. Until then put on a knit hat or tie a bandanna on your head and just forget about it.

throw away the crochet hoiook\u dont want to crochet everthey look great wait 2 more monThs

those dreaded up naturally and blunted all by themselves in one month??????

the loose hair doesn't really bothering me. just a little worried if it's normal to be the way they are right now. i usually wear a headband to keep in style since i'm not able to tie them back yet, but i'm still loving my dreads. it just feels soo cool and it's very different from my previous hair styles...as for the crochet hook, i don't ever plan on using it since i don't want to maintain them every so often. it's too very time consuming for me, and after reading the information i found on this site i'm glad i didn't maintain them since it damages your hair and it wont mature properly.NaturalWomyn - negative, i started them off with a crochet hook then did zero maintenance after that. just the baking soda/acv wash every 2-4 days.thanks everyone for the feedback! keep em coming.

the starting em with the hiok caused more loose hair then is normal, but theyt will recover and get better over time
