How much separating should I do?

Dread Maintenance

Thanks for the replies everyone! I will just keep them in the sizes they are now then and see how thick they get!It seems like I need to separate every 2 or 3 days right now, my hair loves being tangled:)Amanda and Tim what you guys said was really helpful too, I was wondering the exact same about some stray hairs feeling like they're in the wrong dreads-- so I shouldn't pull individual hairs out if they seem to be in the wrong sections? Just tug everything away from each other and if there's random hairs from far away caught just leave em be?

How much separating should I do?

Dread Maintenance

Hi everyone, I've been letting my head dread for about 3 weeks, maybe a month I don't really know.The way I started my dreads was to not comb for a few weeks and my hair seemed to make itself into sections so I took a few of those sections and tnr'd lightly (not all of them).Now it seems like some of them want to form together, 2 or 3 little ones becoming 1 bigger dread and I was wondering if I should just let them do that or will that eventually Congo my whole head? How much should I separate them all? Is it just personal preference? Is it silly to think they want to be with certain other ones & let them do that? Thanks for the advice:)Mirela

Lice all along?

Have you considered that it may just be split ends you are seeing? If its only on the ends of the hairs. That's the first thing that came to my mind

sectioning and splitting dreads

Dreading Methods

I waited for natural sections to form & then tnr'd loosely some of them, but towards the top of my head I got lazy & put a few sections together to form bigger dreads like in the picture. Now they're obviously wanting to separate but the ends are tnr'd... Wjat would you suggest doing in this ciscumstance SE?
