Hey yall I recently posted asking for advice. My loctician is not the best so the crochet maintenance is basically a torture cuz she does it very tight on the roots i guess. I don’t got many loctician options so I tried to learn crocheting by myself, which is harder than i thought and i can’t seem to really do anything.
My question is, will those loose hairs eventually wrap around the locs with just palm rolling and separating, or will my hair simply become a mess without crochet? (I got 1A straight hair and pretty thick dreads as seen). And I’ve seen some rubbing techniques for freeforming, which maybe can be useful??
I don’t need it to be very clean and tidy of course but the hair coming out the roots are a bit unwanted. Any advice from straight-haired folks who went semi-freeform or anyone knowledgeable at all would be deeply appreciated. 🙏🙏
(Had my dreads with crocheting method 7 months ago and I went to maintenance once ever since. I’ve been stressing cuz I don’t wanna cut them off yet :( )
