Not sure if I should cut my hair or keep growing it and hope it gets better

I started my dreads about 9 months ago, and at this point I can't even tell if my hair is still locking or not. It looks (somewhat) fine on the sides and the back, but on the top it's extremely frizzy and it doesn't really look like dreads until you get a little close, and when you do get close it kind of looks like I'm losing hair, and I can't tell if that's just because I have naturally thin hair or if I'm actually losing hair.

The frizz didn't bother me at first since it's pretty normal but now it's getting a bit ridiculous and I want to make it look a bit neater but I don't know the best/safest way to do it. All of the methods I've read so far suggest that you use wax or a crotchet hook and I've heard those can damage your hair pretty badly.

If it matters, my hair started off as twists and started dreading. My hair is a little bit thin and kind of curly (biracial), and I'm starting to believe that I just don't have the hair type for dreads. I'll try and get some pictures of my hair in a minute.

Theres no such thing as "The wrong type of hair for dreads". All human hair will lock up, in its own time, in its own way. Just dont worry about it and give it more time.

 

Thank you. As for my other question, is the hair on the top of my head ever going to thicken over time or will it always look like that? If it's always going to look like that then I might as well just cut my hair now because it looks pretty awful. Like I'm losing hair when I'm actually not, it's just really thin I guess.

 

cut em.

 

Okay, just shaved my head clean right after reading this post. Thanks m8
