Help! Save My Dreads

Thank you for the replies! What I believe happened was that since my hair is super curly underneath, it just folded over itself and now it's a clump that's about two inches long, an inch wide with about two inches of undreaded hair at the root. The dread on the right side of my head did the same thing but the clump isn't as bad. I apologize for not having photos to show you, I'm using my phone and I don't know how or if I can upload them. The good news is that I have an almost full dreadlock. He's about three inches long with about two inches of undreaded root. I named him Colby

My Dreadlocks are almost two months old now and they are dreading up so quickly! I just have a question/problem. My hair is naturally curly and mixed textured. The underneath is extremely coarse and curly, and I have this knot ball on the back of my head at the hairline and it's also happening on the left side of my head but not as badly. Will the knot ball go away over time or should I comb it out a little and re-tnr? I've tried binding them but it either slips out or my hair starts eating it after a couple days.

Messed up sectioning

Thank you for the advice! They're uunraveling at roots as well. I've always used salt spray in my hair w/o a problem but I will stop now. I was thinking maybe I put too much tea tree oil in the spray. As far as drying time, it's not too much longer than my brushable hair, bout an hour w a blow dryer. They'll be a week old tomorrow so I'll definitely post some pictures up. Thank u again!

Oof, that sounds painful! I Used the tnr method and now some of them are coming unraveled. Should I fuss over them or just let them be? My hair is naturally curly so Ihad alot of llayers in it so there are some with stringy ends. Also my hair isn't getting dry at the root, I use Dr. Bronner's and made a sea salt spray and neither helps.

Hello! Well I finally have my dreads but the sad news is that my boyfriend royally screwed up the sectioning. I know this seems like no big deal but I have one huge dread in the back of my head and there is one huge blank space on the side of my head from the dreads being started in different directions. Should I start over or is there some way too fix this? It's really driving me nuts . we did twist n rip, no wax or gel and my dreads are only two days old.
