Dread Maintenance
If you want instant rock star glamor dreads than ya, do all that stuff and crochet up your loose ends you might want to set an alarm clock so you dont let one slip out. But be prepared later down the road for breakage, possible dreads falling of your head because of too many broken hairs and they'll be stiff as a board and look goofy... Or....Let them go natural, ya it'll be a mess, its part of dreading, its the process that just happens, your dreads will move when you move your head like real hair and you wont have to worry about them falling off later down the road, but the trade off, a little mess for awhile, just wear a hat. be patient is key here.
