The backcombed dreads are about a month old now, maybe a bit more. I think you guys are right, I will just let the hair dread as it wants to and put beads in as I go along. About beads, do they stop the dreading process? Do they have to be any particular kinds of beads? Thanks.
Hello everyone! I'm new here and only just beginning to learn about dreads. I stopped brushing a couple weeks ago and things are dreading up quickly at the back. The thing is, for my job my hair has to look reasonably not-crazy, so my question is - can I go back and section my hair to make sure it's fairly even, then put beads around the sections and let it dread in those sections? Would that work? Am I being too much of a control freak? I have two backcombed dreads right at the back and those sections are really straight and neat - would it look weird to freeform with the rest of the head? Should I just do it?
Peace x
