cotton at the roots
Dread Maintenance
Hey guys,First time posting.
I have had my dreads for about six months and they were started with the backcombing/crocheting method. I was told again and again by the loctitions to palm roll and wax but due to my relative laziness and my desire to keep them rather natural I barely touch them. They are quite strong and looking good if not a little fuzzy and open at the tips... and here is where the beginning of my question lies. I needed a touch up for work and I went to a different loctition for this maintenance and she used a technique which I hadnt come across and still cant seem to find it after some looking on the internet.. She had a sewing needle and threaded what was seeming cotton through the dread just below the root to hold it tight.. I was just wondering if any of you guys could give me some info on whether this will hinder my dreads.. and/or if the cotton will break and fall out or will it stay in the dread and go the way of the most hated rubber band method.. by that i mean mucky and tarry... if it does go like this, is there a way to cut the cotton out or will i be destined to start my dreads over..Thanks again for any advice you may be able to impart...kepp smiling.
