I hate to even bring up this issue.....

My dreads are like roughly 7-8 months, backcomed once.... I have lost track of time somehow over the last few months...lol:sifone:

Sadly the pics in my gallery are from months ago... And I have only a shitty portable web cam/digi to work with in the first place, so the shame I feel for posting pics is heavy. Anyhow My thing is my Dreads are getting to be super stable, maby in the first stages of being mature. They are all dreading up less than 1 inch from my scalp, super close.

I have always heard that it is ideal to have them dread 1 inch or more from the scalp, so that they can have maximum movement?

 

nothing to worry about it'll dread fine wheter it's 0.5 or 3 inches undreaded hair.

 

i'm not sure what you are worried about here. the only way it wont be able to move would be if the hair was pulled super tight to the scalp, but i am positive that could never happen on its own.

anyways, i think 1 inch is just a common length for them to be free. i wouldn't be surprised if people had shorter or longer roots on mature locks.

 

Right on....

I guess I was getting worried because they have quit shrinking, and some of my dreads have finally gained some length. And some of the dreads in the back are forming nearly at the scalp.
Now that my dreads are gowing in length again, i am able to see where each one starts dreading from the roots. I can barely move thoes ones in the back though..

 

so you cant move it? is the lock like stiff and sticking out from your head?

 

Yep, exactly... Except they are not sticking out from my head though.. All my other locks can be moved around freely, but some in the back cannot be because they are dreaded so close to the scalp and like stiffly dreaded throughout the whole length..Maby thoes ones I backcomed a little too tight when I did my dreads 8 months ago?

 

well the hair on the back of your head is almost always rubbing against something too, so really tight backcombing that didn't fall out and that movement is what im guessing what caused it. either that or this is just normal.

does it hurt at all if you try to move it, have you taken a mirror to see what is going on?

 

They will do their own thing. Just leave them be. Migth I suggest a larger signature image like I've got?

 

i'm sure everyone can see it without you pointing it out

 

don't hate

 

Fuck your siggy, G.
Lol.

 

Why?

It expresses how I feel...?

 

I was joking.
I like it.
So you're feeling...sunny?

 

It goes with my sig text

 

Ah.
You know that mods will eventaully delete your siggy for stretching out the pages right?

 

Because of height or width?

 

The width stretches out the page and the height makes it a tad annoying to scroll down your post.
So basically both is grounds for deletion.

 

ah man I love your sig but who can enjoy it... I have to scroll up and down.. and side to side to see it all

seems like we all could enjoy it much better if you down sized it.. maybe just a bit =/

 

baguazhang, Why did you feel like you had to ruin my thread dude?

 

Herbalist I think you will always have some undreaded hair and it will help them from pulling on your scalp as much because their will be less tension I suppose.
