Looking to start my journey
Introduce Yourself
Hello there, Im glad to hear you want to go the natural method, its one of the healthiest and fastest methods. Technically you could call dreads matts, (but personally that pisses me off because it sounds offensive) but all dreads/mats are, is knots. Knots that are created by the friction your hair makes from moving up against other pieces of hair. So I guess there isnt much of a difference. I have noticed that a lot of African people say that white hair cannot dread, only mat, however this is false.
All to need to do to help your natural dreadies be on there way is to wash and separate. I hope I've answered all your questions well enough, good luck and happy dreading!

sections combining at the root! What to do??
Dread Maintenance
Yes, watch Babas videos. I have let several smaller locs congo together, the rest I separate. If the sections are wonky maybe you should start over and go natural so they dreads will be where they are ment to be on your head? Beads sometimes help keep things tidy. Know that as your locs mature you wont have to section as much. Good luck and blessings too you!
question about section shape at roots.
Dread Maintenance
I would probably let it be, though your idea does make sense.
Comb it out..Or not???

Theres nothing wrong with it, let it be I have lots of shenanigans like that going on my noggin', and its the crazies that become my favorite the majority of the time If you really want you can put a bead right above the loop to help it form more tube like dreads. HAve fun and enjoy your journey!
