I always had hair that would "dread" overnight on the back part of my head. I'd spend five minutes in the shower dousing in heavy conditioner and combing them out. I assumed that my hair would dread up very quickly and I was sort of right....My hair dreads well...too well?
The problem that I'm having is that every night the tips of many, many dreads are almost fusing together to the point where it's terribly hard to separate them. I'm talking one from the front of the head fusing to one in the back on the other side. It's strange. Big dread rainbow thing over my head when i pull one up.
Not just that but I also have pretty massive clumps of dreads around the base of my neck that have to be separated every morning.
My hair has naturally dreaded up everywhere but I still look there's just a huge puffball on my head because every day, whenever I have a second, I'm separating locks (almost half of them) and they get even more puffy from that and I'm basically fighting progress each day.
I'm not in a big hurry for my dreads to look "presentable" but I would like some suggestions if you've gone through this.
