    I've started to wonder about this too, i have some dreads with flat roots, but the dreads themselves aren't that flat...that might be the occasional palmrolling.

    I dont know exactly, but i can atleast tell you that even if the roots are kinda flat, the dreads themselves don't have to be necessarily flat cause of that. I wouldn't worry about it...everything up there that's "handmade" usually doesn't stay like that...hairs come loose, join other dreads and all that falls under the natural process will likely take care of it :)

    some of my drerads are flat some are not, some of them got rounder some of them not. Some of them are flat form here to there and the other part is round hah. Honestly i like diversity and i like them crazy like that.

    what difference does it make?
    1/2 the ppl that backcomb start with perfectly square rooy sections then try to force them to be prerfectly round dreads
    what difference doerws it make what shape they are? spirals flat round square ziggy xzaggy each one should be unique and shsped like no other
