takes a while for caucasian hair to dread properly. it's a process and it goes in stages. but it will happen whether you see the results or not. i'm sure if you were to give up, and try to comb it, it would still take a long time to untangle it.

-I hate when ppl use jah like another way of saying yeh

-jah split ends arenty gonna weaken the dread..

Sorry but that made me laugh :D

jah split ends arenty gonna weaken the dread but split ends could be a symptooom ..backcombing lifs up and dammages alot of the cuticles along the hair shaft that kinda dammage weakens each individual hair..slightly
but that alones not gonna cause a dread tio break musch easirr

add to it friction dammage from rubbing rolling etc and its weaker still
crochet and u dont weaken it u break the hair into peices
a rope made from hemp is many times stronger then a cotton rope because of the length of in tact fibers a dread where each hair mostly (u lose some to shedding but they remain long) is connected to the head and in tact to the tip should have alot of strength all your dreads together should support the weight of 6 adult elephants (or was it 8 or even 16? its a hell of aklot though) a single 1 inch dread should suport twice your body weight

now we have seen 1 member with crochetted dreads dive in a pool (a high dive) and the water pressure alone broke off 4 dreads

felting like the dreadheadhq lock docta literaly shreads every hair into itty bitty peices so they can get so weak they cant support theyre own weight


so u can see split enss arent gonna weaken an entire dread that can supoort 6 elephants but ppl do some really dumb things to dreads so they get so weak they cant support 2 ounces

Hey,

Um, honestly everyone's dreads are different and if their itchy, it's nothing to panic about, and if they're not itchy doesn't mean they're not dreading up either. Again, all dreads are unique so if they're itchy for a while, or not that long, it depends on you.

If your really struggling with itching I've heard a bit about massaging the scalp helping to relive the itching. I'll have a look in a sec and post what i find out.

And I've heard about crocheted and backcombed dreads falling off because of some of the damage they can do, which ultimately can weaken the roots so much the dread does fall of, and if wool rubbing or twisting is done to an excess, well lets say people twist and rub dreads right off, but a natural, healthy dread falling off? Never heard of it :S
Jah bless brother x

your scalp has to get ueed to not being combed and brushed so it will itch for a bit

and yea dreads fall off from over working thgem twisting felting and interlocking especialy ..crochet can weaken em enough to break too

um,m the ends can fall off when they reach a terminal length for some ppl or wear off from dragging on the gfround or being dammaged by getting wrapped up or caught in things stepped on etc
but healthy dreads shouldnt ever break till they are so long they get caught in car doors and get dammaged from just being so long they get caught on things alot
for instance i lost some beard dreads when my beard dreads got long enough to sit on em by accident
