How do I prevent my dreadlocks from growing together?

The most effective way to prevent dreads from growing together is to pull them apart at the roots, isolate them, and get them crocheted or maintained on a regular basis. When separating, you’ll want to first pull the dreadlocks apart and then run your finger along the scalp where the section should be and pull that hair apart as well. Your hair will continue to try and grow together unless you get your roots crocheted or worked on with another method.
