    [​IMG]



    If im havin a problem dread, i just throw one of these bitches on there for a day or two, and when it comes off, they seem much tighter. They go on an off super easy, but still stay on. Might work for you too, let me know what you think. Or if you have any other tips.

    Also, palmrolling, good or bad? when to use it?

    Yep I love those too, whenever I'm washing up and one of those naughty front dreads decides to start tickling my nose, despite not doing it at any other times :p

    id never use em cause they got teeth teeth can disturb knots
    i just tie a dread round the others or tuck a dread under the rest


    palm rolling
    well
    very rare lil bit wont harm u too much. but they remove all thye unique features and make them boring
    but if u need boring dreads for your career then do it

    but dont over do it or u can rtoll em till they brerak

    rilling is generaly useless
    not needed at all

    if u insist on it do irt while damp, gently, and not often

    i have never done it once..ever
    i see no point

    dreads are soooo wonderfullbecause u dont gotta do a damn thing to em they take care of themselves
    so why create work u dont gotta do?

    yeah, i just love playing with em and touch en em, but dont wanna do any harm. and i dont put the teeth thru the dread, just kinda clamp it, so it huggs the dread.

    they go through something tho..roots?

    a bandana or asnythings gentler

    why would u put panty hose on your head? lol
    why not a tam or hat
    a nandana or headband
    or if theyre long enough just tie a dreasd round the rest
    (or 2 across thye rest)

    Take out those bands. Those will really damage your hair. Rip it to shreds not to mention them getting stuck inside the dreads. Rubber bands do absolutely no good. They don't even help it knot faster. I would take them out immediately.

    I'm sure those clips are fine. I don't use them though as they kinda hurt me?haa,I just use bit of old tops that I've ripped up and tie em round my barnet in a bow^-^
    but yesyes,as others have said. Get rid of those nasty bands. I never used them, and my hair is fine:)

    I hate those clips because they always slip off or hurt my head if I rest it on something, but there's nothing wrong with using them. It doesn't look like it's doing anything bad for your dreads, so if it works for you, go for it!

    And I don't think there's anyway that dreads can be "boring". Dreads in and of themselves are unusual and by nature, not boring. So I would certainly not worry about palm rolling and the like, because your hair will never be boring next to most people.

    I palmroll when my hair is damp. I have plenty of loopies and lumpies....dont really think that is gonna stop them from doing what they want to do. Does help get them tighter in the early stages..did for me anyway.

    I cant do those clips..get all tangled in my head...but then again I can even manage to wear sunglasses, hang ornaments, put clothes on over my head that has buttons, or even get near a damn clothes hanger....geeze!!!
