I started locking my hair about a week ago and decided to wash it tonight and when I did a couple in the back completely fell apart. I'm not sure if I should have gave them more time. But the ones in the front are fine. I really don't know what to do.

My locks are falling apart!
Don't worry, they will start locing up in time. Just leave them alone, don't comb your hair, & your hair will start knotting and that's when dreads will start forming.
As long as you wash your hair and be patient, you will be fine.

It happened to me alot at first too, and I was really unsure what to do about it. But in time, everything began to lock so well that I wonder why I was so scared to have ruined my dreads. Don't worry too much about it, even though worrying is part of the process of learning to let go 
Thanks a lot guys! I started them by the 'Twist and rip'. Yeah they became very loose at the tips, well about half the lock. But i was using Dreadhead waxless shampoo (unfortunately). I ordered some new shampoo off of dreadlockshampoo.com though and will be continuing with that stuff.
