Should I be worried?

Dread Maintenance

So I've had my dread's for about a year now, I got them first twisted around February of last year, and here it is , the middle of Jan, my hair texture is a typical african american texture, with the hair being just a little bit more straight and wild . Through out the whole year they've tried two diffrent twisting methods on my hair , for whichever would work on each dread at the time. There were only two methods though, they were Two strand twist and regular comb twist. I haven't gotten a retwist for about 3 months now, I'm going to see if I can go in this week for one though. I was wondering, after all this time should my hair still not stay twisted at the roots,be straight and wild at the tips and have random extremely flat areas in the body of the dread? I'm not really sure how they should be right about now.

Close to cutting off my baby dreads.

They started out all small twists, but even then they said my hair was too straight at the ends for them

I dont understand why the ends of my dreads won't stay twisted. It's like the inner part will but it's the tips of the sides and the top. The people say my hair needs to be "Trained" but I've been getting my dreads done for over 5 months now. Im just ready to give them up, I cant go the natural way either. And im running low on money. My hair type is just black kinky but kind of straight too. I really dont want to cut off my dreads but its just such a pain.

So i've had my dreads for about 4 months, i think their making really good progress but even when i sleep with a du rag on eventually the sides end up all super wild at the tips while the inner part is still twisted , is that natural or should i wear something else over it while i sleep?
