Hey Black People: I need hair help!

I hate doing my hair. Hate it! So, I've always had dreads.

I had chemo and lost my hair, but it's grown back out now. The texture has changed, so it doesn't dread as easily as it used to. Consequently I have this dread-fro thing going on, and I'm liking it. So I'm going to go with it and see what happens.

I tried looking up this kind of hairstyle and didn't find much of anything. I'm mostly looking for upkeep help. I don't want them to turn totally into dreads, but it's also too dreaded to comb.

Can anyone help? I just don't want it to turn into one or two or three massive gnarly dreads.
