Dread tips: Roll or let 'em go?
Dread Maintenance
ive never had to use rubber bands...i have very long whispy tails on my dreads and expose them to extreme environments, they never come undone....or unravel...i have bout five blunted tips...and for my lifestyle, it is not suitable. it is true that it takes longer for the dreads to dry if the tips are blunted...what happens is that water pools and collects at the bottom of the lock...i have to squeeze the blunted dread to get the majority of the water out so it can dry properly...the un-blunted dreads pull the water out naturally, and they dry even FASTER than my hair did when it wasn't dreaded!!!! its really a cool thing to see...and while i think blunted dreads LOOK and feel better...the whispy ones are totally awesome for their efficiency.. :Dwith anythin in life...dont force it!!!if things are not workin out...leave it the hell alone!!!!if the blunted tips keep comin undone..man..just walk away. leave those babies free.
