locs* not love

Calm down sister girl. Seperate those roots that are tangled together and produce two seperate locs. Its not that hard to do usually but if you let them grow toghether long enough it becomes harder. SE has some good advice on here about splitting congos taht are very difficult to get out. just leave the hair alone. If you have a little damage from back combing thats ok as long as its not major. And if you did comb them out you would probably only enhance that damage. Dont put rubber bands in your hair, use beads if you need to. The loops and loose hair ARE A GOOD SIGN! that means your hair is dreading. Leave it alone, let it be, and seperate when needed ( i like after showers and when i wake up) your dreads will be just fine.

I wouldnt worry about the split root, as the dread matures I think it will pull together. as the knots dread back toward the scalp. Unless the dread is too big, but i doubt it would be, but thats your desicion.

peaceful blessings
