Ah - how long have your dreads been 'maniac'-al? I have just begun my 'pulling apart-ing, surgery' process yesterday.I did *gasp* put rubber bands in them to keep them apart - I figured I'd leave the bands in for a few days and then take them out for a few days... the wilderness is pretty bad in my case. I Did manage to free a few of the dreads, but - sadly not many.Plus.My scalp hurts.After searching many other sites, I did buy hair cutter scissors and decide to try SE's suggestion of precision surgery, but I cannot bring myself to do that just yet. I figure I'll try the bands and fearful glances at the mirror instead.The bands are necessary as my congo has gotten a bit out of control.I *guess* one big monster dread would be cool.No. No it wouldn't be.Oh. Right. And, fuck me.... I am out of town right now... all of this fun occurs while I am in a hotel room.*grr*Xx,Amy

ok another suggestion rake a penci9l or anything simular shape (knitting needle) slide it in under the top most connecting hairs and pull up if u had 3 or 4 hands u could anchor the dread to the head too prevent pulling on the scalpactually u might be able to do it slightly with just 2 by pressing down on the dread roots on eother side with 1 hand and using the other on your makeshift seperation device(btw for future refference i made a whole forum secyion for this this discussion was just to announce he new section..haha)

I have made a utube video on separating the uber dread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfBloVpUGu8 This may or may not be helpful to you guys.Good luck with this - mine are coming apart very well. Slowly, but healthily and well.
