Ok that's all very good to know..thank you all for replying!
I'm very happy to be in "crochet recovery"....i've beat the addiction...even though i hated it from the first day i started! They are a little fuzzy but honestly, I can tell they're improving every day...yay 
I never used wax but....oh my...I started them off with crochet hook. I know..terrible.
A friend did them for me and I didn't realize that crocheting was so bad.
I haven't crocheted them for likeat least 6months, and I've been letting them go natural since then...
what should I do now? If i leave them alone will they ever recover, or will i have to crochet forever?!?! argh?!
Heehee okay thank you for answering Silly me.
I'm happy...when I started I assumed they'd be a ton of work.
Yippee
So I have a non-urgent question that I haven't been able to find an answer to online...
I've been growing my dreads for about a year. It's going well, besides the fact that my hair is quite fuzzy (it always has been, though - i have thick, curly, sometimes frizzy hair) and I have quite a bit of loose hairs around my scalp that annoy me.
I'm just wondering about my dread roots. I know how far they've grown - about 2-3 inches, I'd say - because I wrapped a couple dreads with some hemp string at the start of the whole process and I can see the total growth. They've been dreading naturally without me palm rolling them or hooking them or doing anything. The 2-3 inches of roots that have grown are pretty much completely dreaded and locking up.Is that normal? I haven't done anything to them and I'm just wondering why they keep dreading. I assumed at the start of this that the roots would grow out like regular hair, but they are dreading together consistently. Will this continue forever??!?!
Thanks!
