If you chose the twist and rip method when your hair starts growing out how do you keep this process up?

u do nothing the roots take care of themselves..all dreading haoppens by leaving them alone to dread

tnr only defines the sections and gives it a lil head start after that u must leave em alone to dread

I'm black american , how do you keep the ends from unraveling if you dont use wax

black people the ends dread right to the tips because of the curly hair u dont need anything but your hair u dont need to twist n rip it dreads itself other races may ir may not dread to the tips but are better off if they dont loose tips let it dry 5 times faster

your hair knows how to dread itsef if u just let it

it can..if you split them too evenly and twist too much

twist 1 time split about 10 times b4 twisting again

eve4ry split randomize as much as u can

by that i mean dont split in 1/2 1 split make it 99% 1 side 1% other then 30-70 40-60 10-90

as random as u can

oh but if they do look like brwazids dont worry in a few weks that goes away as they dread

yoyr not really making dreads with any methods only defining the sexctions and giving them a lil push towards dreading they dread only by not combing so you dont gotta tnr at all they will dread but tnr teaches em where u want em to dread thats all

AfterI twist and rip, what do I do with the ends? Do I just leave them how they are?

I like what you're saying.

I've read it all and a bunch else and am wondering what i can do with my dreads, or just leave them alone to dread on their own.

a cosmotology class gave me temporary dreadlocks with hairspray and backcombing, (they had no idea what they were doing) but basically the glue is gone and i''m left with backcombed sections. My hair's not too curly to begin with so dreads are going to take awhile. You've mentioned backcombing and palm rolling won't help much, what should i do to get my dreads to develop?

1 word WAIT it doesnt matter that they arent curly or thick all dreads take is time so give them ime to dread but be sure the hairsprays all gone

and be sure to tell them they don't know what they are doig..
