Post pics of YOUR dreads!

poly am i the only one not seeing the pics u posted? can ya fix that id love to see the babies
as for rounding the ends
thats highly overrated
thats part of the perfectionist thing your trying to escape from..if they blunt let em blunt idf they dont let em not

but if you insist on excersizing control then u can take the ends and put em against the palm of your hand and rub in circles
most who leave theyre ends whispy thoiugh tend to love the whispy ends
u can blkunt em anutime but once blunt theres no going back to whispy

and zilla...looking good
enjoy the journey
like most long journies its more fun to be a passanger, sit back and enjoy the scenery then it is to stress over driving
sit back and enjoy the ride leave the controlling the destination up to nature

 

did that work? Also, you are right. I need to chill with this control issue I got. I don't even realize I'm doing it! it takes several wise people to tell me. I'm slowly realizing I need to let it be. It's a big step! Thanks.

 

awesome, i like your hair colors, makes the dreads stand out.

i am actually on day 3, too... i have had some dreads before but not a whole head full... we should totally be dread buddies and talk about how crazy our new dreads are acting.

 

haha absolutely!

 

mine rounded out on their own starting at about 4 months. i didn't do a thing, they just did it on their own

 

That's rad (yeah, I said rad), I love hearing stories like that!

 

Phen, just seen your latest pic. I'm in love with them so much!

 

sweet! and phen, great dreads!

 

Here are mine!
kinda..unclear and messy

 

aand my last set *regrets ever chopping those off*

 

i like

why is oily hair bad for getting dreads?

 

you are supposed to allow your hair to knot. if your hair is oily, it will slip out of the knots. contrary to the unfortunate popular belief, dreads are not supposed to be formed by neglecting to wash your hair. they are formed by neglecting to brush it.

 

ah
then i'm going to have to wash my hair every 3 days instead of every week
since by 3 days they get pretty oily

but doesnt water also de-tangle knots?

 

yeah it does... just be really gentle in the beginning. i'm washing mine every 3 days, too. they get itchy

 

if you have straight hair yes, washing my curly dreads makes them tighten up faster.

 

I dont have any pics of just my dreads cause the screen on my camera broke. So heres what I do have.

 

Looking good everybody! I'm lovin' all the knotty goodness!
