Ok. Pics. I do think they are starting to look better already. After just a week. Ill post some comp pics too in a bit. The hairs Im referring to are the ones that seem to be twisted up the entire 'dread'..

i wouldn't start over, that is for sure! they will be fine! they don't look bad, just a little weird, like all new dreads in one way or another. just let them do what they want from now on and they should be great over time, i'm sure.

Follow your heart mama.PS I hope you'r not feeling pressured to start over.

Not pressued here, internally. I want to Island Mamma said:

One of the ladies who originally worked on my dreads had thick, crocheted dreads for 6 years, combed them out and started again with skinny dreads. Apparently it took 3 months but they did get combed out eventually and she retained a lot of her hair length... surprisingly! soaringeagle said:

i dont know anyone who copmbed out crochetted dreads personaly but i have a feeling it would be harder then other dreads and might not work well but i dunno
