Hi Miyah! Maybe you've already seen this discussion, if not, I recommend that you take a look at it:

stop twisting stop interlocking what you call neat is severely damaged african americanbs get tractu=ion alopecia 40% of all get it that translates to 90% who twist or interlock the scalp showing look is unhealthy its noty neat yes locticians try to tell you its neat but its diseased and to most it looksscary not neat and thats what your suffering from
wash a minumum of weekly i know african americans that wash every day and use nooils aty all you just gotta adjust to washing regularly
buttyhe twisting and interlocking gotta stop and u shiuld massage the scalp daily tio restore bloodflow

its entirely fixable this is completelty cdaused by tweisting and/or interlocking if u stop twisting itwill recover tho massageinhg tye scalp and usinhjg biotin and washing more will soeed recovery
but the main thing u gotta do is stop twisting
wash and seperate only but u wont needto worryabout seperating for nearly a year till tye hair grows back between dreads
twistingis used to create the im going bald looik the more iu twist the more u go bvald
dont let saolons and locticiansd convinvcde u that you should be balding
dreads are a nat5ural style let them be natural

Patchy . They're so ugly once you look at them and I'm not covering it up. My dreads are the worst and I fear they might be unfixable.

And here is the wonderful paint situation.
Btw I am twisting them today because I'm rushing for a a sorority this week and need them neat and I like them beat but after binge reading the site I've decided that after this retwist I'm gonna try to not mess with them for maybe a 2 months unless necessary and even then I'm gonna twist them WAY looser. I usually get them twisted so tight my scalp gets sore.

my opinion. I would just leave em alone for awhile. Let the new growth come in. IF your gonna twist. twist all in the same direction and try using just water not gels or wax
