My cousin got his hair backcombed in August at a salon and his roots look shittyyy and his bodies still look like strings of hair He wants ropey locks that are the same size or close to it Idk what to tell him cuz my dreads are nowhere near neat and unisect I really dont think time is going to be the answer in this case so lets hear some good answers dread experts
Some peoples dreads will just get neat naturally with time, no maintainance. Me on the other hand, mine started to go crazy, especailly around the back, as soon as i stopped doing anything to mine.
Time is always the answer. If he wants perfect locks, he's probably best to learn how to use a crochet hook. My personal opinions on crocheted locks aside - it is definitely the path to uniform dreads.
