Am I too late?

Help! Save My Dreads

your hair knows how to lock itself always has everything you've ever done was to prevent it from locking.

freeform can lock in wild ways it forms freely sometimes well look up a member @Hummingbird Love Gorilla 

thats pretty wild (and yes he models) 

organic you still allow it to dread itself, but you separate to prevent the massive "congos" that happen when dreads just merge together

organic lets  you control the range of the sizes they form

most frreforms don't come out like his, but the point is to let them freely form as they want, any way they want

1 I saw had what looked like a wrist palm and 5 fingers sticking from the top of his head waving as he walked!!!

1 guy I met... and it formed in a single night... had what could only be described as a dinosaur like ridge 

freeform can be extremely artistic and unusual ..but excessively thick  dreads aree extra hard to care for

thats why many stick with semi freeform  or organic where they prevent the  dreads from getting so thic they cause issues

freeform or organic from the start is the best way

I am not seeing any clear signs, unless some sections are too big.. that you should start over

unless going naturals important to you... a lot here have started over for that reason alone

but for the mistakes you made I don't think they are bad enough that continuing on won't be just fine

i'm all for everyone growing dreads naturally so would never  discourage it, but.. if being completely naturals not 100% important to you your dreads should be fine to continue as long as none are too big and just those could be started over if so

brush????????????? thats how you prevent locking...huh I gotta see this thing haha

cut out the time with the locticians eliminate it curse it.

in some cases id recommend demanding refunds especially when its real bad.. you can if you want  I don't see enough harm to fight it in court or anything.. they shouldn't have done it thats true.. but your not balding  its just the beginning.. someday maybe a few inches might break off maybe not.. u mght have a visible reminder  you might not

but yes please lets see the brush if you mean the silly sponge thing only sen it turn short hair into hedgehog like spikes

ok better thats not so bad no need to cut ..maybe if your concerned either wrap those points that worry you in hemp for awhile or get a peyote sleeve that fits over it

they will act like a cast helping it heal as much as possible

2  years all that will be left is a memory of a  mistake and healthy dreads otherwise

if theres a toolbar above where you type the button next to smileys adds photos in the post just make sure you choose a much bigger  size then tiny before uploading

was a crochet hook used? is the interlock point near the scalp

honestly wow ok 1st wax is a scam and a dread killer.. it is that bad..or was till www.dreadlockshampoo.com made wax b gone https://dreadlockshampoo.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=14

now those sections look really big, i'm having trouble seeing tbe loops you meant but I am familiar with interlocking (and I think you also crocheted twice/?) 

interlocking can only be undone for maybe 1 or 2 days then undoing it does more harm then good

your in luck they are short, they will grow only the tips will be harmed (after the wax is removed)

palm rolling does nothing! well the only reason it was ever used was to cram air into wax so it would harden and glue together

like I said wax is a scam

your 1st priority is remove wax

im willng to bet you should wash a whole lot more then any locticians recommends. 

can you guesstimate the size of the sections at the roots.i mean on your scalp..bigger then a quarter?

take a photo holding a quarter up close to your biggest section

if its more then 10-25% bigger i'd probably start over (you absolutely can comb them out but carefully especialy at the interlick points) if crochet was used...a lot of hairs were broken though

anthing towards the front dreads slower if you sleep  on your back

Daily washing??

Dread Maintenance

cut back on sea salyt 1st  dry dreads faster thats why ppl use sea salt but too dry is not good so just reduce any se

Daily washing??

Dread Maintenance

yes  or jojoba or argon or morocan or pure food grae aloe  but moisture I wouldn't worry about till they are mature unless they are very dry and brittle in which case iid try aloe 1st  too much moisture and dreading stops or reverses

Daily washing??

Dread Maintenance

the only reason to not wash every day or wet it  daily is they dry slow if they dont dry they can stink

but theres an exception to that rule

oily hair  tends to be extra oily if over washed

just like if you starve yourself to lose weight, everything you et is turned into fat cause your body is going into survival mode

washing the oils out daily the scalp goes into survival mode and produces more oils
