Help! Save My Dreads

I started my dreads randomly one night about a year ago. my hair was pretty short so when i started them so they looked like the really short tracy chapman baby dreads. because i never used anything like gel to keep them together each time i wash my hair they would come out. at the time i had no idea what i was doing i didnt know about oils and what not to use and etc. many friends family told me to go to a salon and other places to get my hair professionally done but i would always tell them no i liked how i never used products and the way it looked (i had no idea at this time wax and thing were bad) and that i thought when the scalp is shown it looks dumb; however i was twisting my hair constantly. after my hair began to get the dread like look instead of stubs i noticed i had quite a lot of dreads (i have no idea how many ive never attempted to count them) so i got serious about my hair and found this site after finding it i ordered the shampoo from deadlockshampoo.com and the gel and twisted my hair but then found the video about root thinning and balding and got freaked out because i was constantly twisting my hair. then i saw another video that was linked to the video about the root thinning that said when you have baby look and you wash them the hair near the root will still be tight but the tip will be fuzzy so im confused at whether my hair is thinning if im going bald and if i have to many dreads and should 2 strand twist them. i think its because my dreads are to thin and dont weigh enough but my dreads not able to be pulled back like most of the pictures ive seen on here so im not sure if im balding in only that one stop or its just because of how my hair lies.
