i TnR'd about 2 and a half months ago, and almost all of my sections fell apart. i was told that i shouldnt redo them because it destroys progress, but i have none. all of the areas i'd be redoing are completely unknotted. so what progress would be destroyed?

SE,i figure when i first did them i was not careful enough, and therefore they fell apart. this time around i wouldalso usestuff tohelp them lock, salt water for example.and looking back i dont think itwisted as randomlyas you should. most of the time i was doingnearly equal amounts of hair ineach hand.

dude u got plenty of progress

you dont see those sections? them srartijng to dread? if u tnr u will reset that to day 1 just kep going your doing fine

if you had no sectioning at all and it was perfectly like you just combed it then mayn=be it would be woryh trying but u got pretty much average progres for within 3 months wich many backcombed ir tnred dreads end up exactky where your at

if u weant to add sea salt to the bs well that might help but i think u would undo alot of progress if u start over

Like Eagle said... If you TnR again, it'll be like it was on the first day, and then in 2 months they will fall apart again. So if you leave them be, you've got 2 months of progress under your belt.

Sea salt will help a bit. Beads will help too.

Leave them be! Almost all of my t&r fell out, but then they resectioned. I am 6 months in, and while they aren't formed yet, I can tell what are going to be individual dreads. I'm happy they resectioned because now they are a lot more comfortable.

Any progress. They fall apart and then dread on their own. If you wanted to redo it everytime they came loose, they'd never dread, because they almost always come loose first, it's just the way it is. And that seems counter-productive, but it isn't, it's just part of the process.
