I did my room mates dreads 3 years ago now, and he recently did mine for me. He did them with what I think are pretty big sections of hair. I just sewed the roots to make them nicer looking (I start a new job soon) but now I'm super self conscious about the big sections on my head compared to the size of my dreads. I started them 4 months ago, and they look fine as long as the roots aren't tight...

Any suggestions other than having that inch or 2 at my scalp not dread?

Every once in a while I think about re-doing them with smaller sections, but I don't really want thin ones.
