My braid congo

hey ozzy, I did the same thing a few times. A couple of them look completely like 1 dread, and another one looks like one dread with a crazy bump

 

I have 3 fat congos on the back of my head,close to my neck, i started 2 of them with a band, then removed it after about a month, all 3 of them have tightened and meshed together , however they seem to have some trouble knotting at the ends, should i twist and rip or try some clockwise rubbing?

Peace

 

always found clockwise rubbing funny mostly cause it sounds as if counterclowise rubbing would undread kinda like a screw, I think twist and rip would work better but I guess it depends on the length of undreadedness at the end

 

I find the bickering between OD and NP rather amusing

 

I feel like a better person knowing this

as for the end of your dreads not knotting.. give them time and they will eat themselves into a nice round end.

If you lack patience which I'm assuming you do... rub the end of your dread in a circular motion in the palm of your hand.. this will make the end of your dreads into knotty little ball

 

did I reply to this thread already?! anyway,,a couple weeks ago I ripped a congo that was in the same posishh as your making yours. I think sometimes when they are just over the ear(?) well my congo used my ear as a little shelf so stuck out like a little branch. I find congos work better at the back as they sit better? but whatever you want,,you can always rip it if it begins to piss you off :cheers2:

 

I took out a bunch of dreads around my face because they were pissing me off so much..

 

I'm having to keep my front dreads pulled up so I'm not tempted to take them out again.

 

I'll probably make some new ones or let them combine with old ones, but I think I'm always gonna have some loose hair around my face. I like it much better.

 

yeah I like the mix of loose hair and dreads but I got tired of washing the front
