My dreads are only about 4 months old... so they're still youngg. i'm super happy with the way the sides are looking--just the back is a little crazy.. but anyways.. i'd love all the advice to make them real great like yours! thanks!

peaceee noww.

 

ok, ya gotta keep seperating em!!!
just grab em and take 2 next to eachother and pull apart
they look great except the back wants to become 1 huge dread if your not careful
if u keep seperating em they'll look great
the front and sides look awesome

u even look sorta familiar...wonder why

 

but we love congos so leave some alone unless you hate congos

 

haha, I agree with soaringeagle. Just make sure you keep pulling them apart. Thats really waht I'm having to do daily with my forming dreads. It really seems crazy how some parts knot up so fast and wanna congo while I'm still ahving trouble with another part of my head actualy dreading up yet...:&


As far as the lumps/loops go, you should be proud of them they give your locks taht special unique look. But dont worry I'm sure I've heard the dread experts of the forum answer that same question saying that they'll smooth out with some time. Since your dreads are four months old I think you'll have plenty of time for them to smooth out

 

i believe if you roll them a LOT everyday, the kinks and loops come out eventually, but i don't know for sure, cause i prefer having them myself.


definately tear those bitches apart if you don't want some huge ones in the end. (sorry, i'm going through a calling-things-bitches-phase ahah)

 

Don't worry, the back of my head looks similar

 

hahaha well, careful or you'll end up with what mine did the 1st time..you'll end up with just a huge fat pillow dread in the back

how do u sleep ? chances are theyre gettin like that cause of sleepin on em..

 

I drape my dreads down the back of the pillow.

 

Yeah, palm rolling is a great way to smooth out lumps and loops. They'll never be completely gone, but they can smooth into the rest of the lock.

This is gradual, though, and you won't see much of a change after the first time you palm roll them. Give them a month, and they'll be subdued.

And yeah, rip 'em apart! I started mine with bands, and when I took them off a couple of months ago, I've had to rip and seperate at least once a week.

Namaste

 

hey! thanks to all for replyingg!
soaringeagle---it probably is because of the way i sleep.. i usually put them up in a bun on the very top of my head.. i thought that wouldnt really flatten them so bad... but i don;t know.. should i do something else?
well thankss guyss. peacee--sunshine

 

toss um up over your pillow.

 

I pull mine up like i have spikey hair haha it works good enough the back is about to turn to a beaver tail if i leave it this way i want atleast one fat-ass dread

 

yep, rip, rip, rip, i'm at 4 months or maybe more not sure, but the back of my head went nuts too.
