you should really be doing that once a week, and break not cut, broken hairs have rougher edges and will pull back into your dreads easier than cut ones with smooth edges. leave your dreads be they will strengthen up again, but try to separate once a week i find first thing out of the shower is easiest 
thank you. this may just be very helpful to me in the next week or two
maybe your right, there is alot of product haters here, but i think everyone is open to whatever you're embracing, afterall it is just hair. might be different for white ppl, i know when i started out if i wasn't retwisting every week maybe even more than once a week they would not be considered maintained dreads, lol. thats why i decided to go natural, suits my personality more anyways
My dreads have allowed me to focus my attention on what is more important to me now; love, tranquility, family, not necessarily in that order :p. they have taught me to embrace aspects of myselft that are unique and different instead of conforming to society, and i believe they have allowed the people close to me to accept and embrace those things about me as well because of my hair. they bring about opportunities that i never would have dreamt, and have given me the confidence to take control and shape each opportunity to suit me instead of trying to fit into a space created by someone else which it how i used to treat life. i <3 my dreads and my dreads <3 me.
hey. sometimes i go through the same thing. i miss my beautiful long hair and am sick of all the questions,about washing and what was i thinking or doesnt it smell(like get real ppl)...sometimes when im having a "bad hair day" i'll put a big flower in, or wear a flowy skirt or some killer heels and itmakes me feel better about my own femininity. not to say i dont agree with soaring eagles comment, dont get me wrong i love to fly my own kinda freak flag, but sometimes a girls gotta be a girl
wow! this officially is my new definition of the word beautiful!
