61 SE in pink black and white

I'm a noob I know but I was so proud of these... my first time with dreads ever! I really didn't take my time like I needed to and some of the twisties is coming loose. I think I twisted too tight cuz they aren't as straight... any tips I would appreciate. Sry the pic is so blurry

From what I can make out, you look to be on the right track, but without not-blurry pics, none of us are able to give any helpful advice :(

I don't think it's your twisting that is causing them to unravel, perhaps you need to backcomb some more? They look good from what I can see for a first time attempt. Love the colours.
Perhaps take a look a rivet lickers tutorial on loops?

they look good for a first attempt :) that was my first color combo too. you should work on your backcombing a bit more so you get a consistent taper and make sure you keep the dread twisted until it's completely cooled off. that might be the problem of them unraveling. if you can, try to post a more clear pic so we can give a better critique :)
