Maybe I can manipulate it ? And move it out of my face ?
My other problem is that everything is just unsymmetrical.
Here are some pics the first one here is gonna be one before I folded my tips of my dreads, I folded and I rubber banded the tips of my dreads to make them thicker ok here goes
What are your thoughts ?

1 crochet is just horrible abuse
2 dreads that fat are nearly guaranteed to mold, three folded tips only drasticly increase that probability
3 sewing them together ..is just strange i mean they join together if you dont separate
4 why should they be symmetrical? symmetry is the least of your concerns. the thickness the very slow dry times and the eventual potential pain issues aree far more of a concern.
ok so, was it sewn with thread? can you find the thread and snip it out extremely carefully?
it was kinda unethical of them to do this without warning you about all the potential issues ..like how do you clean a scalp you can't even get at..you might get pussy sores under the thicker dreads.
you are going to have to find the threads and snip them anyd hope you can get them undone..might need to comb the tips out to do that

another issue is crochet makes them stigff and that stiffness can take years to reduce.. the thickness adds to that so repositioning sa stiff dread it will be stuburn and want to stay where its at.
how long ago were they sewn togrether

dreads these fat are called wicks and not that I have met anyone else with wicks but I can't imagine they all have mold
I can always undo the tips.but the thing is that they didn't use thread, the thread was my own hair wrapping around itself and then being crotchet
I wouldn't even where o begin in undoing these ?
What do u think
And pussy sores under my dreads ? Whaa

they can take 3-4 days to dry thats high mold potentialmk people who have huge dreads do so for religious reasons and its their burden to bear thyey only wash very rarely (sometimes once a year) avoid swimming and getting them wet. they endure pain and suffering as a religiousd burden.
pussy sores cause the locks are so thick you cant get your fingers under them to clean the scalp.
i know people with way fatter but they take extreme care (and they are all natural)
id start with the ones that bother you most soak in conditioner and very slowly gently brush or comb out brush is gentler buy=ut slower.,. it will take time and a lot of conditioner.. and the crochet would have broken hairs by the thouysands so ypou'll have handfuls of hair on the floor after.
then let them dread naturally. or if you must, twist and rip.. but no bigger then 1 inch at the scalp..less is better at 1 inch they will take about 15 hours to dry and thats with a good bit of blow drying over that time ()9less in hot sun)
a 3 inch dread (yours look like 2?) can take days and days to feel dry, but still be damp in the core..perfect for growing mildew and mold and "dread rot"
if you want to keepo them real thick consider a lavender vinager rinse at times to kill miold spores and plan on using rot knot every couple months at lerast
