    I want one too!

    So, I officially started my dreadies on the 1st of June 2010. I backcombed them really lightly, just to get an idea of how many I want and section them out a little bit. I really wanted to go neglect/patience as I like the look of it the most.

    Before dreading (brushed for the very last time):

    Backcombed:

    I really miss that length:

    Since the backcomb was only to check things out I washed my hair after a couple of days and let it fall out, just keeping the sections:

    Day 17 of neglect:

    It was all going well and I liked the patience method a lot, but I changed jobs and was told that they don't mind me having dreadlocks, but I can't keep what I've got on my head... So I needed to crochet:

    And so they looked like rats' tails :(

    Going to fish for some pictures from later on, they get better then and finally start resembling dreads :]

    4,5 months:

    They started looping, so I took all the beads and wraps out. Notice the shrinkage at 5 months and a week:

    Starting to look like dreads, 6 months:

    Nearly 7 months:

    And then I dyed them ^^

    7 months and a week:

    7 months and 2 weeks, the colour starts to change and go rusty:

    And now I'm at almost 8 months and 2 weeks and I love the the colour, but they don't behave recently, so there are no reasonable pictures...

    Hope that's not too much at once!

    Love them too! Some are dreading now, if I get a comb in my hands I'll brush them a little, so they stay like that - esp. that they are visually adding length.

    Thanks guys :]

    Yeah, they got better since the initial crocheting, but I can tell that they are damaged :( They are also quite prickly and stiff. I love 'em a lot, but I just now they could be truly awesome if I kept going natural - they were progressing very quickly. Hopefully with time they'll get better + the new growth can dread naturally.

    Hm, can't seem to get anything arty or decent looking. But we went to the Peace in the Park festival on Saturday and there're some random shots of me.
