The question has already been answered, but I wanted to share a funny story on the topic of "flat, paddle-like" dreading...I had one of them on one of my back locks for a while and I had someone comment that it looked like a 'dag' (one of those flat mats that sheep get on their butts), only she added, that at least mine didn't have poop in it like sheep have...I replied, with a straight face, 'well actually, it does, poop really makes great dreads, and it's all-natural. I believe in natural locks.' The look of horror on her face was priceless and so worth making myself sound like a filthy poop-headed pig hahahah

yes, the bead is round. it's bone and not super heavy. i can't feel it when it's on unless i swing my hair around or something. i need to make sure i don't turn my head too fast though. it hangs right by my eye and i don't want to go blind. lol;)

so i have these weird, flat, paddle like clumps of hair hanging from some of my locks. i guess my hair likes to knot from the bottom up. anyway, i have one in particular that bothers me because its HUGE. after i washed my hair today i kind of rolled it into a tube shape and put a big bead on it. i like it much better now but will it be a problem later if i leave that bead on? will the bead help the hair compact and round out over time? also, the rest of that dread is still locking up will the bead slow down the process because of the weight or something?
thanks for the help:)

Tams really do help
General Talk
wool works because it grips the hair and causes friction. i wear acrylic tams too but the hair just glides over the fibers. won't help your hair knot but it won't hurt it either. i wear my wool tam to bed too. during the day i wear it lose when i'm home but if i go out i'll put on a scarf or throw on a tam.

General Questions
it would definitely be a last resort. i hate them because i have thin hair and they're heavy and cause pulling on my scalp and its really uncomfortable. the bottoms are about 2 - 3 inches wide and the rest is developing thinner than a pencil.

dreads thrive on a positive vibe
learn to love everything they do no matter what they do

General Questions
i have some of those, too. they look like big, flat, matted paddles. i personally hate mine but i've been told on here that they will change and compact over time. i guess if they don't then i can cut them off when my hair grows long enough.
How many dreadies does everyone have?
General Questions
i think it really comes down to hair type (thick, thin, fine, course). one persons 20 dreadlocks can look totally fine but on someone with thicker hair they will look huge. just stick to the 1" average measurement like se said and im sure it'll be fine.
