To report back, i ended up wrapping every single one like you said. Just want to be sure I did them right. My girl spent 4 hours wrapping em up and applying some locking up gel in the process. So far only one of them has fallen off, and it was one of the smallest wraps. Thanks in advance for your input 
Much Love

Thank you for all of your input Eagle, I really appreciate it!
I have a question about the "wraps" Should I wrap them with hemp? or something else...?
The base of most of them feel like they are kind of rolling together. There are a LOT of loose hairs, but some of them are starting to clump and stay together. Is that where everything starts?
Bought a tam. Have no worries about any kind of appearance issue for work, so whatever is clever. I've got over the looks that I get consistently throughout any given day. Makes me laugh now
Much love

well thanks for being honest, but the comedy was unecesarry.
anyhow, i guess ill just go with it, see what happens in the next few months. If all else fails, I'm still young, maybe ill just shave it all off and start completely over. would be a shame if i had to do that tho...
take care
So heres the scoop. I tried to dread my hair the first time using simple back-combing. They fell out within days. So i had the girl that did them the first time try again. Needless to say, it didn't work. I have super crazy fine hair, but a lot of it... So the third time we tried, she decided to try her new "dread maker" on my head for the first time. What it was, was basically a crochet hook that is connected to a motor that shoots the hook in and out real fast, grabbing hair, notting the SHIT out of it, and they were money right off the bat. Well now I'm about 2 or 3 months in, and I see a lot of progress, but I also don't see a lot of other things that I think I should be seeing. For example, I can see a lot of looping, and a lot of dreads that have tightened up quite a bit. A couple of the dreads have used their loose hair *appendages* and grabbed another dread and combined them. I ripped two of these apart, and left one of them. I'm going to upload a couple of photos on here, and also added a couple to my "profile" area.. If i could get some feedback as to the progress of my lil dreadies, it would be GREATLY appreciated
Much love my dread family, and thanks in advance!!!
Your friend,
Brandon
Also... I shampoo approx 2 or 3 times a week using the locking up shampoo (that shit is sumthin else, amazing smell, amazing to see how wild my dreadies look after a shampoo) and use a sea salt spray daily in the morning. And just started to use the locking up gel that was just released
OK, thank you for your help eagle, i will get back here in a week or so, hopefully they keep going i just have crazy straight hair, maybe thats why i'm so worried... oh well, just gunna let go, maybe other worries will fade with them
much love
peace

by disappear i mean the sections disappeared. it doesn't look like i have dreads really anymore, except for a few solid dreads randomly around my head. my hair is about 8 inches long, and gets oily after about one day of not showering.. i mixed 1/2 cup of baking soda in a two liter bowl with 10 drops tea tree, 10 drops lemon. soaked for about 2 minutes in the water before shower, dumped slowly over head until all of it was gone. let that sit in there for about 15 minutes or so, rinsed under shower for about 2 minutes, lightly squeezed dreads. is this the correct process? and do you have any insight about drying methods?
thanks for the responses. took the bands out, guess i just have to let it go huh? feel like my roots are really really oily, just washed today with the BS wash, might not have let it sit in enough. should i re wash?
just one more question.. after takin the bands out, the sections in the back all disappeared, and some of the sections in the front but not all. does the answer still hold true, just let em be?
appreciate the feedback, will try to refrain from being a rookie dread head 
much love
peace

Hello my fellow dreadheads!!
I started my dread journey on December 4th. Just a little worried about my progress..
Used rip and twist method and rubber bands. Have been replacing the bands as they break, which is ALOT!
Have also been spraying a mixture of : 2 cups water, 1 TBSP Sea Salt, 10 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops lemon oil on my dreadys once a day in the morning. Usually roll them after that, and keep them under a bandana all day.
My worries are this, ends of my dreads are looking like they are just regular hair. They feel lumpy inside some of them, but most of them seem like they 'fell out'
HELP PLEASE
Much love friends
peace
Brandon~
