    Alright...so this is 6 days in...no brushing or combing, just washing with goats milk soap with tea tree oil in it. I will probaby switch to another soap soon, but haven't found one I like much.

    There is a lot of knotting already and you can see them forming into their own little dreadies all on their own. I haven't done any separating just yet...kind of want them to form as much on their own as poss.

    Any suggestions are always appreciated guys. P.S the hair is a little damp in this pic...I just washed it a little bit ago.

    Looking good Baby! I've had mine a week today and seeing yours has made me feel more confident about the 'state' mine are in... yours look soooo neat though! Mine's just a big huge frizz!
    Keep going, have you noticed how much patience dreading needs?!

    ahhh yes, patience is a virtue! I would love to see pics of yours. So far I am liking it.


    A few years ago I went with the separating and backcombing and I just wasn't real impressed with the way they turned out, so this time I am just gonna let em go. Good luck with yours!

    OH YAAA! You won't have trouble with that at all! Your hair was made to dread, they look awesome!! We can keep these pics goin back and forth and see how they turn out.


    I just talked to a good friend and she said go for it too. It's nice to get some support...so many people are like, "why ya want to do that?"

    Cause, I CAN!!!!!
