Hello, my dreads are 16 months today! <3 and they have been 100% neglect and I have used residue free soaps/ no wax etc etc. The underneath hair is still virtually undreaded. I am not overly concerned but was just wondering it pulling my mature dreads up while I sleep may be helpful in expediting the process?

depends what u mean if u mean tie em up it might slow things maybe if u flip em up tho then as your head rolls on the pillow it will help it dread but dont worry the hairline dreads slowest and will have loose hairs most of the tuime
i wouldnt worry bout trying to dread it but when the lil pointy peice in the nape of the neck finaly dreads itelf then you'll know they are really mature

the hair at the nape of my neck is just stating to get little knots forming and i'm at 22 months. i think the hair there is finer so it just takes longer to knot up. the hair on the sides above my ears is still soft, knot free hair. i guess it will just take time.
