this photo was taken in October, ten months after we started her dreads (the old timeline thread is around here somewhere)
ahh i love them!! shes going to have beautiful dreads when shes older shes so adorable now with them. i hope my kid will be a lil dreadhead!!
She won't let me do much to her hair anymore. I sometimes palmroll it in the bath when I wash it is all. And sometimes she'll let me put beads in, and I'll try to get some of the loose hairs to attach to established dreads. I'd say about half of them are dreaded up all the way to the ends, more now than in that photo. Mostly it just took time. There's still a lot of undreaded hair, especially in the back. She and I made the clay beads together. Humblebee made the glass one. thanks everyone!
