twist and rip - roots?

so lately i have been doing some twisting/ripping of unlocked hair and it is going smashingly, however i have noticed that on some the knots started about an inch below the roots. i don't mind, but is this going to end up being a problem? i've seen people with locks that have locked bits and then straight hair and then locked bits, and it's not an issue except i've heard it makes it weaker, easier for them to fall off etc.

ok groovy. i haven't thought much about "doing it right" as i know there is no right way for dreads to form, i just want to make sure they won't fall off or something
