Retwisting dreadlocks (not for all hair types)
Sometimes when your dreads start growing you may want to retwist the roots, the newly grown hair may take some time to lock and that will annoy some people who want a neat dreads look.
how to retwist: simply follow the instructions in the video, you may use some organic wax (I do not recommand wax in general but if you want to use it pick an organic one) then make your dreads into braids as shown, this will help the roots to lock.
As it says in the title, this will not work for all hair types, and you need to be cautious about products you use on your dreads and how you treat them. because twisting your dreads violently may cause some damages, and sometimes you do not notice the damages right away, it takes a while before your dreads start thinning and you wouldn't even know why. That is why I will say it again, be careful how you treat your dreads and always notice any changes, treat them like your babies, because they are.
Other than that I will just suggest that you let your dreads do their thing and be patient, it might get frustrating at some phases but that's the beauty of it.. when your dreadlocks are fully mature and become rope-like, you will have the look that you always wanted and it will be the best feeling ever.
Remember: the only maintenance that your dreadlocks really need is washing, deep cleaning sometimes, and maybe separating from time to time. The rest is optional and must be done carefully
as for Palm rolling your dreads I have already posted about it and what I think of it, you may check the post here
