Loose Roots
Dread Maintenance
From the pics it looks like you still have a good amount of shrinkage to go. What does that mean? Anubis said:
I believe you should leave them alone. With your hair type you are going to have some amazing locks. If you stop maintaining them you will most likely find that they will lock up at the roots perfectly. From the pics it looks like you still have a good ammount of shrinkage to go. Maybe it's just the way my hair is but comparing my dreads to the loose hairs I have, the loose hairs are about twice as long as the dreads.

Loose Roots
Dread Maintenance
I am having trouble maintaining my roots they are so loose. My hair is still kind of short, the middle has locked up all the way down to just above the tips but the roots is still straight, so I was thinking about using the crochet needle for the roots like I saw in one of the dread maintenance videos. What do the dread community think?

lol, you didn't make any mistakes I wouldn't keep using the hairspray. what I would do is continue to twist them. Looks like you have very short hair, so twist them using a natural shea butter, sweet almond oil, or avacado oil. If you want your dreads close to your scalp you can use a nappy locs tool (or latching). there's a great tutorial on youtube on how to make your own nappy locs tool. Ive done it and it works very well if you want the mantained look. loc Tool DIY Vid interlock your locs!! that's the name of the vid on youtube. Shoot a message at me if you need anymore info
