well we had 1 guy that had twice as much scalp as dreads..and he was white and twistimgs just extra dumb fir white ppl hair i mean he literaly looked like 1/2 of the dreads wont last another monthbut he insisted on recomending everyone else twist toohe was only dreaded fir 7 momnths and looked like hed be bald before they were a year
i still get mine retwisted. i kinda have to. my moms dosent like my hair period so getting it retwisted every 5 or 6 weeks keeps her off my bsck for the most part. The woman who twist my hair only uses her fingers and a lil locking gel. i dont really think its doing any damage.
do u see scalp around the dreads?
tell your mom that doing it can make you go bald show her the traction alopecia pictures ask her if she thinks its worth it and ask her if she will p[ay for hair transplants if you do continue twisting
it doesnt hurt idf u seperate often enough twistings a bad bad idea
just seperate after every wash

Inevitably, long hair of any kind stresses the scalp. This can be worse with dreadlocks because hair that would usually be shed instead remains twisted into the dreads, meaning that, over time, there is additional weight on the roots. This can cause traction alopecia.
The best way to protect yourself against these problems is to wear your hair in a style that supports it against the top of your head, reducing the strain on the roots. This can mean tying it up (being careful not to do so too tightly) or wearing it inside a soft, breathable hat that provides support. You can still wear your dreads loose for special occasions, but if you look after them in this way you're a lot less likely to lose your hair.
The leading causes of alopecia in dreadlocked hair is twisting interlocking and over tightening of the roots which cause a constant tension resulting in permanent hair loss.
i thought it was only an issue if over twisting.no i dont see scalp
