ARG 3 inches not dreading at tips!!

Ok so I've got 3 or 4 dreads that, at the tip, have for three inches of undreaded bone straight hair. Two of these dreads I have r'n't-ed, and BCed and they still have come loose. BUMs.

WHAT is happening!???!!?!! I dont like it I'm gonna put wraps around the two reacurring ones, but shall I just BC the other little b*astard?

I know people may say to leave them to do their own thing but I don't want to leave them xD

 

eat them, then go to bed, it's late and I've got a dr's appointment tomorrow.

 

what is bc?

DOh back combing

 

i have the same thing with mine too, a little hair at the end is straight and wont do anything so i think its how it is

 

But is it as long as 3 inches?

 

i too have this problem,and some of mine look more then 3 inches undone,so your not the only one who is having this little predicament.

 

ive got a couple that are maybe 2

 

Mine took forever to blunt naturally :\ and I still have some that arent blunt cause I tend to chew on them lol

Isn't crocheting the tips in popular around these parts?

 

haha with my young locks, most of each dread was strait, loose hair. there would just be a couple of inches of knots at the base. it really will sort itself out, but you can also twist and rip those. it worked well for the locks i did it to.

edit: just reread your post. my twist and rip fell out too, but i felt like it added some knots. anyway, i would really just leave it, it really will knot up.
the only way you can ensure that it wont fall out is tie the end off with something or round the end with a crochet hook.

 

After 4 years mine are all loose.

 

4 inches of undreaded hair at the tips of most of mine 15 months on. Try rubbing the tips against the palm of your hand it really works!

 

I have one dread that has 6+ inches of undreaded hair at the bottom and whats funny about that six inches is that right there and there only my hair is becoming extremely curly.
the rest of my hair that is undreaded is bone straight. My hair is having an identity crisis.
I also have on dread that has 4 inches of undreaded hair and has been like that for 5 months now that hasn't even hinted that it was going to dread. so I'm clueless too about what to do

 

When my dreads are long I'll probably unpick a good four inches or so to keep loose coz I like how it looks lol

 

*Sigh of relief* Corr thanks guys xD Was having a bit of a freak out Glad to know it will sort itself out

Thankyoooo!!

 

i also have been having this freak out, and i shall probably have it again in a couple of weeks =]

 

Snap lol. We can just read back in this thread and have another break from the freakness of undreaded hair xD

 

most of mine have an inch or 2 theres nothing wrong with it at all
alotta ppl treatting blunt ends like the most important thing made me lil self conceise so i began tip rubbing for a week and god i hated it and really regretted it
i love my whispy ends, and the few that did blunt, and the few that end in a big ol ball i love how they turn out when u let them turn out the way they want

stop freaking out and let them do what they do..and enjoy it..hell become fascinated byu it..the results arent important the journey is
fall in love with the daily changes and forget about the long term goals..

 

my long ends dont have daily changes, apart from getting looser.

part of me wants to backcomb them again, but most of me wants to leave them and see what happens

 

I'm fed up of waiting to see what happens

I've just rubbed them in the palm of my hand because that has worked wonders for the wispys turned blunts

Smello backcomb one and leave the other? Or something xD

 

smello reminds me of jello. mmmm jello. maybe i willllllllll. i unno. i put my backcombing combs away and i cant be fucked to sort them out
