I towel dry, then blow dry. and yeah i only used oil on the roots but i over used and when i went to rinse i guess it got in the rest of my hair so it's pretty oily right now.

what happens if you're not surgically precise with cutting? I think i was okay with it, not too much cutting.

I don't know if the picture really helps with trying to describe what my roots are like, you can't really tell that anything is wrong with them but my dreads just feel heavy on my scalp and it's worrying me a bit. My scalp is also sore from the pulling and stuff.

Some one reassure me please :)

that is true, but from now on ill probably separate more and handle them delicately. have you used olive oil? and if so is there a way to make it come out of your hair faster because i have a lot of loose hair still and it just looks and feels greasy, i already washed and dried.

Hey there so I've had dreads for 8 months and i sort of let them do their own thing so they started connecting and i thought tonight would be a good night to separate them. so i used olive oil and i cut them a little bit, not too much. My roots feel really weak now, I'm wondering if thats how their suppose to be considering i just yanked at them for an hour. So basically is it normal to have my roots feel weaker? I'm sort of nervous that their going to fall out or something.

the spirituality of dreading (regardless of religion or lack of)

History and Religious Significance

i love this i think everyone interprets how their dreads are connected to their spirituality in many ways. but it's as if we're all united by our roots. In essence, we're all connected. It's lovely. And i love "to dread is to invite discrimination" because it's so true. I think people who wanted dreads just for looks don't really want them "just for looks" because they know that it's a unique style and they know they'll get a few haters for it. I think subconsciously or their hindered down spirit is urging them the get dreads for the experience. because i feel like even if they don't know it yet. their dreads changed them, humbled them, or did something in their lives.
