Problem with separating really... combined scalp.

Dread Maintenance

Thanks guys(and gal). I'm going to try and do it without cutting it later on tonight.

Problem with separating really... combined scalp.

Dread Maintenance

Alright, I have had my dreads for a little over 3 months, and everything is going absolutely fine except for the back of my head. I never really messed with the back of my head when I was starting, and didn't really realize this problem until relatively recently. It seems, from a lack of separation, the hair on almost the whole back of my head has become closely gathered and matted close to my scalp, and is starting to form one big uni-dread. The problem is that it is so far gone, that i can not pull or rip them apart for the life of me. It is a problem for me, it is way too big for me to be comfortable with. I was thinking about trying to wiggle my fingers through and loosen it to the best of my abilities, and then maybe making small, precise cuts with a small pair of scissors and then ripping them apart if possible. But it is in such a bad area, I have no way of seeing what I'm doing. I plan on asking my mother to help me. I kinda noticed it all after i realized that the length of the hair on the back of my head had shrunk, a lot. So before I resort to cutting because I know its bad for dreads, does anyone have any ideas as for what else I can possibly do about it?Any feedback is greatly appreciated, and thank you beforehand.
