thanks guys. i definitely struggle with the patience. one of my friends got dreads about a week before i did, and she went about things totally different. she uses wax, crochets, even rebackcombs. and hers LOOK like good dreads. so i often get comments about me not taking care of my dreads, or im not doing it right.. but i dont want to ruin my hair. im just glad im not the only one with this problem. :]
So my dreads are about a month and a half now. i used the backcombing with a mix of twist and rip. and ive tried to find suggestions on getting loose hairs to stick to a dread, but apparently it doesnt seem to be an issue with anyone else.. but i have chunks of hair that just doesnt want to be in a dread. and its not just like little roots, its like full length hairs. ill post pics so you know what i mean. but ive read on here that most ppl dont suggest croqueting it into a nearby dread, but is there any way to help then join a dread faster? 
where did you order the shampoo bar from? the bs method leaves no delicious scents in my hair like id prefer. lol
