Crazy dreads

Dread Maintenance

Thank you everyone! I feel much better about my dread journey and all of your advice definitely lifted my spirits!

Crazy dreads

Dread Maintenance

I have had my dreads for a little over two months now... Using the rip and twist method and my dreadlocks are going insane. They all have tons of loops and there are some pieces of my hair that just will NOT dread. They keep falling out completely. What can I do to tame the loops? Should I crochet them? Will they disappear naturally? And how do I get these stubborn pieces of hair to dread? I am beginning to get so frustrated. Please help.

Thin dreadlock confusion

Dread Maintenance

Hello! So I just recently started dreading my hair using the twist and rip method but I'm kind of starting to freak out because i only have about 25 dreads and they are all thinner than a pencil or about pencil thickness. I'm wondering if maybe I should take out some of my thicker dreads and split them in half and make them even thinner so I can have a fuller look or should I just let them be? Thank you so much!
