    Hiya, I'm new here and I have a few questions. I think they're questions.
    I've just started making dreadlocks using the Twist n rip method, but I've already ran into a few problems.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of the plaited look? Yeah...they kinda look a bit plaited.
    Next one. There is an aweful lot frizziness. Does this go away in time?
    Last but not least. My hair is quite fine, sort of average length (about 8 or 9 inches naturally) and the way I've sectioned off each dread (3 on one side so far) has sort of left a fair amount of space with not much hair left to dread :( So yeah, I might have mucked it up already. Any advice is greatly apprieciated :) Ta dearies

    Everybody who's anybody looks ridiculous with deadlocks for at least 6 months.

    It's the rules.

    Just leave it :) they will look plaited, but just leave them and they'll stop looking like a braid and more dready-like

    I think t&r dreads do have that look about them for a little while, but as it knots up and the hair moves around it should go away, as well as the frizzy bits while they mature :)
