    I measured just about 4inches, maybe 1 cm off; of Hair.

    A 4 inch afro.


    I haven't combed in 5 days and haven't washed either. I'm going for it all natural, and man is it getting matted! I'm getting loops and curls and mattedness, it feels cool. :D

    I constantly wear a Beanie because I've heard it helps, but also to keep from having people stare at my hair and not me.

    Well, this is it, I hope my dreads reflect who I am when they mature a bit more.

    Any tips?

    Peace and Love, John.

    my only tip would be wash your hair with some natural soap at least once a week.
    they'll just start binding. it's a bitch at first.....but they will.
    it's such a fun trip!

    I use dr. bronners
    some people don't like it
    but it's tingly organic goodness.
    use it on your nut sak (peppermint)
    and it will feel like a minty cool wind is blowing thru oh man it's lovely.

    great for dreads.
    my scalp is clean, dandruff free, my dreads don't smell. everything is dandy ;]

    Ummk.

    I will keep in mind to thoroughly massage my nuts with Dr. Bonner's chilling peppermint soap. And then my hair, or should I wash my hair first? Yeah....

    Anyways, thanks for the tips.

    Peace and Love, John.
