Thanks alot! also id like to post this out there cause u said the section was too big but i think its cause it was on the crown of my head so the hair flares 2 different ways but if i get it a twist u can see the actuall size of the section.. thats the same dread in the pic btw it just flares cause its on the circle of my crown

hers are amazing but u have 2 very diferent hairtypes
that dreads thick..but not huge
you know the 1 and only diagnostic question i neglected to ask in chat was sleeping habits wich can affect dreading sometimes switching sides of the bed with your wife can help the areas not dreading to dread..ofcourse the oiliness is a big big factor still
but little things like how you sleep can make a difference

in that case its no big mystery that the oiliness is the 1 and only real concern
1 thing you can try wich id give it at least 1 try
wash with hot (i know usually recommend cold) washing the scalp real well then finish with a mind numbing cold rinse ..cold as you can handle for as long as you can handle
the idea is to open those pores up clean them out well then seal them up tight with the freezing cold so they wont pump out oils like crazy
you can make a tea out of thyme..fairly strong to spray on the scalp and leave on (smelling somewhat like a pizza) thyme supposedly helps regulate oil production...but wont happen overnight you might have to do this for weeks to see results the cold i hope you will see improvement right away

Yup thats exactly how i wash however i never thought it would help with the oil, I was doing it with the intentions that hot water swells the hair(opens the cuticles) then rinse with cold water (close the cutitles) making those natural sections "Grab" each other.. thanks for the help again ill give the thyme a shot, so i just buy thyme leaves and make a tea? my last resort will be to twist and rip if by 1 year i dont see some neglect dreads starting or at least sectioning.. i really want them to be natural but mabey its not for my hair type.

vicki was thinking of selling a microfiber pillowcase cause she used 1 and it really helped a lot
but yea the cuticles and pores react the same way to temperatures
