Starting dreads with 2 strand twists

Dreading Methods

i use the baking soda and acv rinse and i dont have a wool tam the reason i used 2 strand twists is because i can wash them with out them coming apart and they do look silly thats why im wandering how long it takes before the change

Dreading Methods

i dont have elastic bands and i only used the gel one time when i put them in and havnt touched my hair since except for washing do you know how long it will take my hair to take a more matted look instead of twisted?

Dreading Methods

ok i started my locks using 2 strand twists and its been about a month since i started them. I wanted to know when the 2 strand twists will start to lock up and the pattern of the 2 strand twists will go away.

ok i just started dreading and i am having problems with my comb coils unraveling at the roots. i was wandering how i can make my comb coils tighter so they dont unravel. Also should i re twist every time they get really loose?
