What would be the best way to prevent the dreads on the back of my head from becoming messy? like a tam while sleeping or silk

I will post some pics from the front I have of me, but as I said most of my concern is in the back. I just think that the dull color and the nappyness is from me messing with them every once in a while, so if they didn't begin to look healthier I was considering starting over

alright, thanks a lot man.
I guess my only other question before I post up pictures of my hair is about starting over. If I decide to cut it I would like to get dreads forming when my hair is still pretty short. I feel that this will prevent some dreads from going too whacky. After having dreads already will my hair be prone to dreading, and dread with 4-5 inches of growth? or if you recommend I brush them out, would I even be able to this late in the process, and if so would my hair, again, dread faster then it has in the past couple years?

so what is the oil treatment that you guys are talking about?
and I was thinking of just taking yarn of some sort and wrapping up most of my dreads in back, maybe allowing the loose hairs that make the back of my head look messy form their own dreads

alright, I will see where they go in three months from now. I was thinking that the messy dreads would look better when they are longer and will smoothen out when they become more mature, but I have been dreading for over two years and I was wondering if the damage isirreversible.Also, I have just started showering every other day on average. I roll each dreadseparatelybetween my hands with shampoo. This seems to have helped my dreads become thicker. I was wondering if showering every day to every other day would help tighty up my hair and return the color back to its natural blonde color

okay, I didn't think I would resort to wax. probably just wrap a few up and get some larger beads. some of them just have big paddles and lumps, I think a bit more time will help cover up all the ugly bumps that I think were caused from backcombing with my fingers and t&r. I have washed with the acv rinse and then baking soda rinse, I then started using non residue grease cutting dish soap, and now I am using a shea butter shampoo that I think has helped. I am not african american. My biggest problem is just the back of my head, anything to do about that?

I have been growing dreads for about 2 years now. I have been letting my hair do its own thing mostly, but when I started I did screw around twisting them and lightly ripping and tearing. I think this threw them off their course a bit and some of them look super nappy and unkempt. My hair has a very flat color to it now, especially the back. I was wondering what I could do to save my dreads before I decide to start over with little twists. Any advice on helping the color of my hair and taming the frizz and ugly knots. Would anyone recommend a little bit of wax for the wiley back ones before I cut them?
