Be patient and take your “Crochet” with you wherever you go.
Approach care
At the base, the dreadlocks must not felt together, otherwise you will get a felt carpet. You should be able to run your fingers all around the dread without getting caught in the hair from the dreadie next door. Tear the hair apart when wet if two dreadies begin to tangle at the roots.
Danger of tearing!
Never crochet wet! The hair can tear more easily in this condition. Besides, it is very inefficient.
Loose hair
The hair that grows back should be crocheted. Take the dreadlock between your thumb and index finger and with the other hand crochet between your fingers. Or use the Tighten Roots method.
You take the dread about an inch above the base, hold it between your fingers and press it lightly against the scalp. Find the center of the dread and start circling the dread with light pressure. Find the natural running direction of the dread. Each dread has its own and it is important to always turn in the same direction to avoid knobs. After about 30 turns, you will notice your base becoming firmer and harder. This method is especially recommended for thin dreads. However, it requires some perseverance and it is important to use the method regularly.

Loose strand
You can also tangle loose strands with your fingers and then pull the “mini-dread” through at the bottom of a large dread. Thus, the strands are again inside a dread. Then crochet the small dreadlock to the large one.
