So, I'm going back to the dreads, I've heard their sweet siren song and I miss them so much. I had dreads all through highschool, twisted, maybe 3/4 inch circumference so not so fat - if I whipped my head, they would flop around like a sweet mop (the novelty of my hair actually moving when I moved my head didn't get old at any point). Now I want to go smaller when I go back. I'm not sure if people come around here saying this often, but I'm going to take a go at a Kele Okereke-like style - dreads up top, and keeping the sides relatively short and undreaded. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off. What I wanna know is, how would I best achieve these results? I may have had dreads, but I was pretty clueless back then and sort of just let the woman do what she was doing, and then rocked them without a second thought for a few years.
I do, I'm half black, but my hair is relatively tight considering. I'm probably looking at dropping a fair sum of cash on those dreads aren't I?
thats your man from bloc party? yeah I know them, I saw them couple years ago...quite drunk though. He photographs very well <3
geez can u play with your hair? if so u can twist them mindlessly every now and then and in nmo time they will dread totaly free dont ever ever ever go pay for dreads you will only be ripped off salon dreads make a mess on purpose then try to scam u over and over for repeated tightening and mainatanance before u wise up u can payu over 1000 ..or more if your dumb simple free instructions pinch a lil hair twist a few times..move on to another pincxh..repeat \dont worry bout making it tight or neat 1st 3 weeks or so repeat that once a week maybe (doesnt even have to be conceise just doping it withouit thinking is fine) after 3 weeks see how thewyre progressing if they hold shape ..leave em be if they tend to unravel alot retwist every 2-3 weeks afro type hair though can dread very veryt fast very short 1/8 inch of hair can dread in 2 weeks flat alternately dont do nothing at all except rip em into tiny thin sections as it dreads goping naturaly this way shouldnt take any longer in your haitr type maybe a week slower if anything the only difference is a slight difference in control twisting is generaly not that dammaging but can be overdone and can lead to dread breakage when done to the extreme..so less is best in al;l things dready
just twist weekly until they start staying twisted on their own. i think you may see some matting occur after the first 6 weeks, then you can decide how often you want to twist. my man twists his only once a month if that.
alright, well I'm going to grow my hair out for the next month, maybe two and at the end of that period, I'll start twisting. that should result in dreads starting out at about 2inches, twisted. I'll post my journey up on here when it beginsss
