You don't have to be so defensive! As I said, you're doing your own thing with your hair which is great. Methods mean nothing. What's your point?
I paid to have my dreads started by backcombing and crocheting. The guy sectioned them beautifully and made them neat. Guess what? They started to...
Only people that know me comment on my dreads. If I've just been introduced then they almost always complement my hair which is nice. I've had a...
Your dreads are really really beautiful. I went the crochet route because I didn't have your confidence and I kinda regret it. Kudos
I think my dreads definitely get messier in the short term, but in the long term you want to keep your dreads clean. It helps the hair dread...
I have this 'wet druff' too. Really nasty stuff- I tend to wash my hair with water and nothing else. The more I shampoo the more my scalp seems to...
I always thought natural dreads were anything not made by chemicals, extensions or anything artificial. Methods are methods, but I think all...
[IMG] Like this??
Jackillin, what you're describing is exactly my problem!!! They just become rocks that can't suck up the stray hairs. Ironically, it just results...
hey Pandy looks good! :D Don I've been using a 0.6 mm hook, so its very small indeed. It goes through most dreads without even seemingly touching...

Just thought I'd make a quick new thread because I couldn't find an answer to this.... I started my dreads with the crochet method and have been...
Used your method today Don and it worked brilliantly :D thanks! I think this coupled with less frequent hook maintenance will work very well...
Thanks so much for taking the time to write it all out man, really appreciate it! It's help like this that makes forums worthwhile. I'll give it a...
Thanks for the advice! I didn't know that more washing increases the matting process. I was told to wash once a week as too much washing causes...
A pic or two mid-dreading. Second pic is when there were only a few left to do at the back. Excuse the expression, it was fecking exciting!!!...
You make an interesting point DonBK. Using the hook is supposed to help speed the maturing process, but arguably its the hairs knots naturally...
Heheh I would say my hair is brown, sorry! But when I dreaded it, it does look a lot more 'red' for some reason. I mysteriously have a ginger...
Thanks for the comments! I don't know what 'quiet' means, but if that refers to them being more sedated and tidy than usual, then I'm happy....
