So, I'm wondering...If I leave my dreads alone, as they grow out, will they just start dreading themselves at the roots? It looks like an inch of straight hair, and then DREAD!Some background...I have backcombed dreads. I have had them for almost three months. I was palm rolling a lot and winding the roots, and they became really dry and began breaking at the roots. Now I am leaving them alone and washing with Dr. Bronner's bar soap and using some oils to keep them from drying out. But, if I leave them alone...as they grow out, do they just dread themselves?
