Hey guys, I decided to join today because this site has given me a load of useful information on dreadlock care. I twisted and ripped my dreadlocks in about 3 weeks ago and i am in love with them. It's a struggle at the moment because I have a lot of loose hair and my dreadies tend to unravel quite easily after a shower but it's a labour of love and they are my babies
Anyway, only through best intentions, whenever my hair unravelled after washing it, i re twisted the ends that had come loose probably every few days and usually i would end up re-twisting a few others between washes too. I have recently discovered that this is a big no-no and i was just hoping that I had not done any lasting damage to my dreads if i stop doing itimmediately.
Currently I think they feel fine, obviously there are a few weaker dreads and such, but my scalp never feels irritated and there is plenty of loose length at the root.
I've attatched a few photos so that you guys can share your opinion.
I want nothing but the best for my locks and I feel ashamed that I could have damaged them with my impatient ways
