loops lumps kinks and zig zags in dreadlocks

Dread Maintenance

I LOVE them. They look so awesome!!!! Mine are all loopy and kinky too. I wasn't sure at first if I liked mine (at around 3 months) but I have been using peyote stitches to help with some of the more crazy ones, but after all is said and done I'm glad I didn't get "salon dreaddies"

Peace and Many Blessings

Happy Dreadding!

Okay. I didn't know that. I thought if I wasn't hearing hair breaking I wasn't doing any damage. I will stopimmediately. I actually just saw a pic of another person who said their's looked the same way early on and you can't even tell now that it is mature. That is all I really want because I was worried they would look like that forever if I didn't do something about it now.

u cant make sure no hair breaks cause if u use rthe hook..hair breaks theres no physu[=ical way to avoid it u shouldnt ever those p[]loops will go away on thie r own harmlessly

if you hear hair breaking your breaking at least 15-20 at a time for it to be audu[ible a single hair breaking or even 5 or 6 u cant hear

every single time the crochet hook passes through a dread..hairs aee broken theres just no way it can pass through harmlessly

you really dont need to control them but if u must a wrap or bead or sleeves harmles

a hook isnt

I have a whole head of loops. My dreads are only about 3 months old and so I have gently pulled a few of the bigger ones back on itself with the use of a crochet hook but only gently making sure that no hair breaks. and am using peyotestitches in some others but for the most part my dreads are super loopy and crazy.

Thanks so much for this thread. I was starting to obsess about theimperfectionsin my newly formed dreads and now I'm totally cool with them doing whatever comes naturally. Peace and Blessings
