i'm going to do my absolute best to try and describe what's going here..

my hair is pretty coarse and wavy, so the roots have always matted up a lot- too much. i think i'd not have such a problem if my dreads had more definite edges at the root. when we did them, we sort of just grab chunks of hair. i've been wondering if i should find some way to fix this. maybe if i took them, one at a time, and with a nose hair trimmer (or something) and made more clear lines, then tended the hairs as they grew back? it would take a long time, but i wouldn't want to deal with a ton of loose hairs growing up all over the place.

also, i have a very wide variety of sizes on my head, but i'm beginning to lose the little ones (they're being swallowed up at the roots. did anyone else go through this? what are they going to end up looking like? i'm pretty ok with it, i'm sort of ready for thicker dreads, and the thick ones seem to mat up waaaay better than the thin ones..
