    In a pony tail

    mine aren't long enough to do much with them now, but i used to put my old set in like a french braid. there wasn't many of them so it was easy to do. i dont know how to do it now though, oh well.

    most of the time i just throw them up in a pony tail, because its easy and gets em outta my face. =o)
    How did you get them to look so nice in your wrap!? if your head wraps will make my hair look like that I have to buy one! haha

    Imagical ...The wrap I was wearing is really old I bought that one from a festival,if you get one just wrap it round twice and make it real wide at the top and I just get a few dreads at a time and twist them and pop the ends under the wrap at the top of my head.Its really comfy to wear as your dreads are'nt tickling your neck :p
    and
    pmiester I remember when I could not do anything with mine as they were so short too,my boyfs dreads were down half way down his back and I used to make them into allsorts of funny styles wishing mine would be the same :(

    Mine are always down or in a head wrap. Sometimes I put them in a high ponytail but that's quite hard to achieve

    usualy down with em just tucked here n there to keep em out from under feet
    but if its hot i tie 1 from the center round em all
    or if really hot several around em so it lifts em higher (forms a coil maybe a foot or so wide) or if reallreally hot wrap em in a great big ball and stick a few ice cubes iun the center

    but lately everry now and then i take the thickest ones one by 1 wrapping em around till i run outta thick ones (masybe a foot and a half tall) then wrap all the thinner ones round the outside

    mostly just do it for convelience to keep em off my shoulders or outta the way though
    ive woven em into a crown a couple times buit its just so much hair and so many dreads it helps to have help doing it..lol

    i leave them down as much as possible, but if i'm working and its really hot or i'm going out i tie them back. If its cold enough to wear my tam i wear it.
