Help! Save My Dreads

So, my dreads are 6 months old and I'm having a few problems. They are definitely a test to my patience. First, the whole bottom back row of my dreads have really thin roots. There is like a 3 inch length of hair at the base that IS dreaded, but its sooo thin. Could it be because I always wear an elastic head band and that constantly rubs it?

My other issue is I have TONS of loose hair. Like enough to make a new dread, but thats not happening either. Its just silky straight hair. I am super against using a crochet hook. So, should I pay to have maintenance or will these escapees be sucked back in?

Heres a pic of the super skinny base. Keep in mind this is ALL of the back/bottom row.
