so i started the first half tonight and i couldnt get to the back myself so im waiting until tomorrow to finish since i finally found someone who will help me. heres a pic i just took give me some feedback on anything else i can do because i feel like if i touch it it's not gonna hold anymore. =[[[[ soooo frustraiting!!!!! sorry it's a really scary picture haha i never look that freaky
they look GREAT! they will calm down, don't worry. they will probably fall out and come back together on their own, just keep 'em clean, and enjoy the ride! you've got some lovely new locks.
beautiful it will be fun to watch them mature! and congrats on finding someone to help you finish, I can't wait to see the finished pictures!
they are freaking nuts! it hard to tell one from the other so i have to keep separating them but I'm so psyched i actually didn't loose too much length. so if they come apart to i keep back combing or leave them?
just leave them. you'll find big chunks of your hair will fall out and be just plain hair, but in time they will knot up on their own. i started by backcombing and lost almost all the bottom, but left them alone. a month and a half later, i only have a couple tiny chunks that don't have some kind of knottiness going on. i think of it like this: backcombing gets your hair thinking knotty, and then from there, just let it do its thing! wearing lots of hats and doing some wool rubbing helped me a lot, too!
yeah i noticed some stray strands of plain hair came back and now the sections are all almost like one big section i look like a have a fro! haha i'm not about to give up i'll wait it out. im sooo impatient though. today was the first day of my senior year and people looked at me funny and one girl told me to sit down cuz she couldn't see
so i still can't find anyone who would help me do the back so i brushed out all the other dreads. no one will help me i've asked everyone i know =[ i guess dreads aren't ment to be for me. im so sad =[
oh you shouldnt have given up so easy they were lookin good looked like theyd be thick dreads & crazy awhile but looked good where do u live? im sure it cant be that hard to find some1 to help u could just go natural your hair looks like it would dread like crazy on its own
i live by chicago like 45 minutes away and my hair is pin straight and fine. i'm going back through and redoing a lot of them and trying again, but i reallly need help desprately in back
here's an option. get a tam and stuff your hair inside that bad boy. keep it there for some time, and let your hair do its dreading naturally. it will take a little while, but it'll happen. and that way you don't have to stress about getting someone to help you. just a thought.
meh still have nothing =[[ im considering putting it off and grow my hair reall long =] but who knows dreads would be so nice i hate doing my hair everyday
the back of your hair will dread on their own in like 3 weeks...just wash and seperate, and theyll be beautful hunny
i second that. after backcombing, the entire back of my head fell out and two months later, i only have one tiny section in the back that doesn't have some kind of knottiness going on. just have patience and your hair will take over!
