"I'm going to talk about what happens if your dreadlocks break. So after you have them for a while they are going to get kind of long and they get heavier and the longer you have them they could get really dry and brittle. If you know if sometimes they do break and you don't have to freak or panic or anything because what you could do is you could just sew it back on. If your dreadlock breaks, like here, you could just sew it and you need to sew really well and use a thick a thick thread. Just like you get from a sewing store, and you just want to sew it. Kind of weave the thread back into it. So you could sew it back on and that is actually how come some people do get extensions. You know, fake hair attached to their normal/regular dreadlocks? So that is how they attach those. So you could just sew it back on, and it may fall off again, but just sew it back on again. You don't even have to worry about it and you can't really tell especially if you thread it the same color as your hair, and say you know, you are cool. So you don't have to, you know, panic. But you could always try to prevent them from breaking the first place by keeping them moisturized by conditioning, but remember, rinse."
