following the trend...

I think they looked best at 1 year 7 months

I don't like all that crap thats in them afterwards

 

They look amazing Tannaleigh

 

1 year and 7 months looks badass!

edit:

woah pat, i said the same thing you did :O

 

thanks guys... I'm freaking in love with my locks lately....

and chaos... i sure did make them.... and its easy peasy japanesey...

 

tannaleigh how did u make ur wraps that long?

 

felted wool dreads tied to the end of my own then wrapped as a whole....

 

ooooooooh i like that they look super cute

 

^werd. I tried to wrap mine once but it looked silly and was really stiff :/

 

you and your dreads look beautiful .. i luv timelines fun stuff

 

so with the wax you just used it really sparingly?? there is no build up?
i'm getting ready to start mine and i have seen the pics of people who use wax vs not using wax and yours look great... so i'm just wondering how you got them so nice.

 

mosschild... they are only nice now because they are just about two years old... I used wax WAY Way too much... its definitely not neccessary, and makes ur dreads feel yuck, but it kept them looking more like dreads for a little while... i just couldn't stand how it felt and stopped using it. so far no ill effects with mold or funky smells, so I'd say some wax use is safe.... but why do something you don't need to.

And Chaos... my wraps are usually stiff until after the first wash. I had a hemp wrap in that was knotted and it took ages to soften... but at least the stay where you put them...

 

I love your new siggy Tanna! =)

 

thankoo... i was a little/lot drunk... in every picture I've got at least one cougar paw up...LOL

 

Happy cinqo de mayo! My dreads are two years old today! WOOHOO. and albiet they haven't changed much since the last update, PICS!

 

i like the print on your dress!

 

they coo. i like the red tips

 

tanna, did you do a lot of root flipping or crocheting? your locks have a unique texture!

 

vigi. yup I did. I liked having my roots tight. but now I do nothing. Oh and thanks about the dress...

 

when you root flipped did you find a lot of loops created by hair getting snagged?

 

not at all. I find i have way more loops now that I don't. However the parts that were root flipped are much MUCH harder than the parts that were backcombed and the new growth. I'm curious to see if it actually does weaken them, or the opposite, but only time will tell.
