Hello all. I turned 21 on Tuesday and just finished up my spring term. Unfortunately I have pneumonia so I have yet to celebrate and I really don't have much to do other than read and surf the web now and then. I decided to take some pictures for you good folks. I hope you enjoy the photos and have a splendid Holiday season!
yeah I backcombed... I kind of have a love/ hate relationship because of it. I feel a strong bond with them but I also feel like I cheated. I get strong urges to cut them and start over au natural simply because I backcombed. It would be nice if I were able to comb them out but unfortunately they are rock hard and combing out is simply not an option. I make up for the backcombing by not doing any maintenance and they've been doing their own thing for about 2 years now. I feel pretty good about that aspect. But seriously thanks for all the compliments.
Think of it this way. You only skiped out on like 3-5 months, when your hair would have been a bitch. And, if you cut them, its gonna take you even LONGER to have dreads like SoaringEagles. Amiright?
dont feel bad about backcombing dude! they kick ass and the way i see it, yes backcombing isnt the same as natural, but YOU still created them, you still put the energy into them, and if it was friends that did it, then they gave their energy and love so your locks could look as good as they do. its all cool
That's what I was going to say...think of all the energy you gave to them while you were creating them. YOU made them, it's not as though you had a dread perm or anything like that. Def. don't feel bad about the backcombing.
I think they look GREAT and you should'nt feel bad about back combing them..in my opinion they come out alot better that way and you did'nt have to spend years just looking like a mess in order to get them. I feel no guilt for my chosen method. Don't cut them for goodness sake!!!
