Help! Save My Dreads
Hi! I hope you're still active as I need major help. I've had dreads8 years I'm black,feme,18. My hair is naturally thin and pretty much after I died them the first time my dreads went to shit. I had never taken good care of my hair before dreads and after dying them and still not taking good care of them they just fell apart from there. I have a patch in my head where it looks like at least 3 dreads should be yet I've never seen em fall out. I have a. TON of "double tongued dragons" or interlocked because of the thinning. I saw that you say interlocking is bad. Why? Also, is it possible for my hair to thicken up even though it's just naturally thin? What products do you suggest? Also is there a solution I can soak my dreads in to deep clean them? I went to a paint party and I've washed as much as I can out if then but it's still very much there. I retwist about once a month/3weeks and wash the same. I know white people wash their hair everyday, black people don't as it dries out our hair. So idk should I change my washing frequency? I get why retwisting is bad, tension and all but I do prefer neater dreads. Maybe I should stop twisting so tightly? I've had my thin dreads pop off from twisting too tightly. My hair is in really bad shape. I'd love to send you a picture of it so you can see. Please help. I really love my locks but it's given me bad anxiety and worry because it seems like they just keep getting worse and like I should just cut them off. I don't want to do that. Please help.

. They're so ugly once you look at them and I'm not covering it up. My dreads are the worst and I fear they might be unfixable.
