so i have had my dreads for 1 year, somethings have come up and i have decided that right now is not the time for me to keep my dreads. I am going to re-dread my hair, i plan on by next april to have started on my next set. since this time line was to help people who were like me and unasure of the neglect method. i decided not to cut, i combed all my dreads out. took two days and a lot of conditioner. I just wanted to see how hard it would be. my head is tender right now but i have my long hair still so the next set wont be starting over with short hair. On my youtube page i posted my 1 year dread video and a video of how i combed out the dreads. pretty much its just like backcombing but you are coming in the opposite direction. I want to thank everyone that followed my timeline and i hope that it has helped someone out there to decided to go with this method. I am not leaving the site, to many people with awesome dreads! https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhw4
