Major Loose Hairs..

Dread Maintenance

Hey guys I have major loose hairs I was wondering what to do?
Like I have dreads and then undreaded sections of loose hair will connect at the roots
where it is impossible to pull apart (and not enough hair for another dread really..) ..

so will the rest of it connect to the dread if i continue to palm roll?

i don't really think i should crochet the hair into the dread i've found that does more
harm than good..

if i continue to palm roll the undreaded hair with the dread will it eventually connect
fully instead of just locking at the roots?

please help : (

thanks!

Roots Together :'[

Help! Save My Dreads

My roots are all growing together! I didn't use rubber bands I didn't really like the idea I felt it was more
natural to just let them do their thing but now they're all growing together at the roots. (I know that sounds
kind of hypocritical but.. whatever lol..).... I have a congo and it's cool and everything but I don't want
them ALL growing together and quite a few seem to be doing it. And are very hard to pull apart... not
that I'm even sure I should be doing that to separate them.......

Anyway. How should I separate the roots while they're growing?
Do I need to use rubber bands?..

Thanks for reading and keep peace in your hearts :]

Hello Everyone :] Introduction.. and question on dreads..

Introduce Yourself

i back combed them in. and i palm roll and use dr. bronners every 3-4 days.

i understand. i've gotten a few odd comments but generally people seem to not bother me much.
then again at other times i seem to repel people.

but in all honesty i really would love to do my whole head. its getting to the point where i need
to anyways because the many i have in are "Eating" my undreaded hair up

Hello Everyone :] Introduction.. and question on dreads..

Introduce Yourself

Well first off hello! My name is Alexandra and I'm 18.. I love animals and nature, I have a pet doggy and a hedgehog! I'm currently into practicing yoga...and I have always loved dreads. To me they symbolize free spirit and awareness of the truth in how we should really be- a reminder that the typical "accepted" appearance is once not how we were. Better, simpler, more spiritual people. That's just me anyway lol.... but either way I eventually had witnessed one of my great friends locking her hair up completely and it was the final push in letting me know it was time for me to do it as well. I feel somehow meeting her was just another hint I should go through with it... so I did. I have about... 12 locks throughout my hair right now. And from these alone I cannot begin to tell you how much I've grown as a person!

I personally have found so much more.. peace.. with who I am. Regardless of my clothes or any materialistic value. I did start them for religious purposes but I did not even think it would make the difference it has.

I do have questions however.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the dreads I have now. I love love the lifestyle it's helped me achieve.
But I really don't know if I could put up with awful comments every moment of every day I feel I
would just end up getting exhausted with it and chop them off.....

I am debating on doing my full head... but with all the awful comments I've read about people getting I'm not sure I'm willing to put up with it. Is it really ALL that bad? lol... I've always been "different" and dealt with stares and gossip... but it sounds to me the second I step out my door I will be harassed relentlessly. I just want to know if it will be like that all the time?
I have quite a few in now but my hair is very wavy and almost to the point of being curly so I feel it's not
as easily noticed..

thanks for reading and peace to all :]

veggie vegan omni ital? whats your diet and hows it relate to your dreadiness (if at all)

Dreads and Diets

I have been vegetarian for 5 years and vegan for about 1 and a half. I have chosen it because I seem to be more "spiritually aware" when I eat clean. I also have a huge love for nature and animals ... but all in all i feel it just goes hand in hand for me.
