I have noticed that several of my dread have thin spots in the middle. A few have even broken off due to the fact that they are so thin in places. How can I fix this? My dreads are about 4 years old.

have u done anything that may cause this? palm rolling? anything?
only possibility is push the bottom part up till the strong parts meat and the thin part dpuvbles over
then wrap wrap wrap from a few inches above to a few inches below (or whole dread) to form like a soft caste holding them together till the weak part dreads into the solid parts
if you do any maintenance besides separation ..stop
if u use rubber bands when tying up or styling..stop.. if u do too tight styles stop oh..if youve used baking soda and acv a long time exclusively switch to the dreadlockshampoo
sometimes theres nothing u can do it will break and trying to fix it will just speed that up
other times it will fix itself
that wrappings probably the only safe thing worth trying
