Elastics are a great help to get your roots and ends to dread up. Studies have shown that a loose (never tight) elastic at the root of your dreads for the first two months prevents a lot of loose hair and helps new growth to dread up more easily.
(Elastics on the ends prevent the dreads from unraveling before they have had a chance to dread properly together)
How to use elastic bands at the roots. How tight you wear the elastics is very important. They should fit but never tight. They should be tight enough to stay where you put them but if you try to roll them up or down you should be able to move them. The reason behind this is that the hair cannot form knots or adjust into a dread if it is unable to move. But if the hair is kept together, it is much easier for it to form knots and place itself in a dread with its neighboring hairs. If the elastics hurt, it's because they pull your hair and are too tight and too close to the scalp. You must have about 1-2 cm of space between the scalp and the elastic. They will roll up when you wash your hair in the shower. This works well because you can roll your dreads and when they dry you can roll the elastics down again. This will help you keep track of which dreads you have rolled.
