Welcome to your journey Isabel. Your twist & rip sections will loosen with time, please do not re-twist them or you will set back your journey. In order to become mature dreads, the T&R needs to loosen, to loop, to zig & zag & shrink, this is the process. Don't try to tidy them up when they are doing this, it is the way for them to form, so don't palmroll them or try to keep them tight. All you will need to do is keep them clean, separate any sections trying to form together, and enjoy the adventure.
