questions and concerns
Introduce Yourself
So, I posted here about 8 days ago maybe? and asked about some different methods and about the length of my hair. I went against some posts because I really wanted to start my dreads because I've been waiting awhile. But anyways off topic, so I just got them backcombed (I know people say it's bad blah blah blah) about 6 days ago, it took about 8ish hours for a friend to finish them up. They're about 4 inches long. The first 3 days they were pretty tight then I had to was because they were so greasy from me sweating and working outside. A LOT of loose hair came out after i washed and dried them up, I used that Suave clarifying shampoo or whatever so it doesn't leave behind residue. Initially I had rubberbands on the tips but took them off after the second day because they were annoying and made them look pretty goofy, but now with all this loose hair I put them on the roots to combat it and have been doing a little crocheting to help the dreads stay together and tighten. Some have even come completely undone and I had to almost redo them. At the moment most of them are together and have the rubberbands on the bottom. Sorry for the rambling but I wanted to give a bit of background information. So, my questions and concerns are what should I do about this loose hair? Should I be crocheting it or sleeping with a hat on? Also in a about a month football starts and ill have 2 practices a day for 2 weeks. So that means a lot of sweating. Will I be able to wash them every day without a shitload of loose hair coming out/sorry again for the long post but thanks!
