I am aspiring to be bedreaded, but I was planning on waiting until summer because I'll be near the ocean, and also I'm kind of worried I'll get fired from my job for coming in with poofs for hair.
however, my hair does not agree with that plan, and has started dreading itself in the underpart. It does this all the time, and I usually just sort of lacklusterly brush it out. It might have gone too far at this point though.

so my question...
should I just dread that part?
what will happen?
Can I hide that with the top hair?
