lumpy ends and persistently blunting tips
Dread Maintenance
yeah this is happening to me also ,
one day you notice that you have long natural dread, and after a week you find that the tips have just folded into themselves leaving you with a shorter dread and a funky tip. haha well it doesnt really bother me other than the fact that i have lost several inches because of this i actually think it looks pretty cool.
the same thing also happened to one of my TNR dreads, the tip just folded in themselves now it looks like a neglect dread.
some pics would be nice so we can see your process
goodluck!
