I have had my dreads now for about 4 and a half months 2 months ago. I started Rip and Twist (RnT) and then crocheted for a while after discovering this site I dropped the needle to let them grow. as well as made a few smaller dreads.
Dropping the needle was one of the best things I did. I felt great about myself and just told people not to worry about it when they said my dreads looked anything other than good (had a few critics, but managed). at this point I'm still feeling great BUT i've notice a few of the dreads I didn't do a crocheted tip are now coming undone. Like its now less than half of it knotted up. Im wondering what to do? cuz what happens is they turn into tight curls and I don't think they are able to knot up much. It is a possibility that I'll always just have SUPER CURLY tips, but most of my dreads I'm much more happy with, don't know what the exact difference is.
Thoughts?
My basic plan was RnT some more and then tie the tips with some yarn for a few months and just let them learn to not be pure curly rings. but I thought I would consult here first and post some more pictures of my progress.
after looking around Karl Edwards posted a Discussion where he just had to let it go, but, I thought I'd still ask.
