i would either let them section naturally on their own, or section them yourself. i think the random sections make it easier for congos to form, but i also don't think it's the worst thing you can do.

i am not an expert though! and mine were *so awesome* that i ended up taking them out.

I think lazy dreads has a video on the pros and cons of sectioning / not sectioning....

I haven't read all the comments so forgive me if I'm repeating. This is essentially how my dread were 'made'. I TnRed The very first row at the nap of my neck, then next month the row above, and next month the row above, etc...until I gave that up and went natural anyways..Its perfectly okay for dreads to have different birthdays. Here in September it'll be my first rowsyears Sectioning will be the key in keeping your regular hair and dreaded hair separate. I often wore my hair up and kept my dreads down to keep them from eating each other up If you have any more questions feel free to ask! happy dreading :D

Thanks! And happy early birthday to your dreads! Now.. For work. I put all my hair up because it's pretty hot. Will it be alright to put my hair and dreads in one pony tail?

yea but the more iits up the slower it dreads and the more u might need to seperate to prevent a pony dred

I've thought about getting a headband to loosely tie them back but my normal hair is so slick it would be more of a hassle that way.

Also a few of my dreads are already really loose. They won't fall out will they?
