Crocheting roots?

Can I use a normal brand? As long as they're not a conditioning shampoo?

Crocheting roots?

My friend did them for me, actually.

She took the section of hair into two parts, twisted them thenseparatedthem again. She did that all the way down. The bottom layer was back combed, but the rest weren't.
No, there's no wax in them, the only ting that's been on/in them was water and aloe.

They're not fully wrapped. There's lots of hair showing. Should I unwrap them?

No, you should never crochet, the roots lock up on their own. Crocheting is very damaging, it breaks alot of hair, creating a huge problem. You don't need to palm roll either. It doesnt do anything, unless you o it often enough to cause damage. I think wrapping this early on will stop the hair from moving, which it needs to do to knot up and dread.

Otherwise, congrats on having some new dreads.

Hi!
My dreads are still babies, only 3 days today!
The majority of them are wrapped (I was told this is going to help them to not get tangled with the rest of my hair. I only have the bottom half of my head done)

My roots aren't really loose, but should I crochet them to help them? Or just wait a while?
The ones that are wrapped I leave alone, the few that aren't I palm roll with aloe every once in a while.

And any other advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!!
