Threat around roots??? And dying advice?
Dread Maintenance
a natural hair threat (cotton, wool, yarn, hemp etc) around the root sections is way better than using rubber bands or silicone wraps, because they can get sucked into the dreads or damage the roots and thinning out your hair. If you hate frizz, which is part of getting locks you should never crochet, it breaks hair and makes even more frizz that way. Leave them alone or wrapping them is a way more healthy method.
Also please stop root flipping or interlocking, it is very damaging, too, not even palm rolling is any good for the process. Wash at least weekly and separate, that's all you need to do.
