I have 32, and 2 tangles that used to be my bangs I've had problems with just letting my dreads go off and do whatever they please, form with their neighbors, split off, create new dreads, whatever. I think I'll give them some freedom
I was bored.. I counted 65 .. some of them are 2 that have joined into one at the roots, but I counted them as one. It's all a total mess atm... we have a new puppy and she thinks they are made for tug a war in the morning when she is ready for breakfast and I am trying to sleep.
30 when I started, 31 now since 1 wasn't growing together at the root and looked like a "Y" and I tore it into 2.
around 38 + 1 mini dreadling...maybe a few freadlings more, but most aren't that sure yet if they wanna dread or join a neighbour.
I just counted 66 but there are a few that are still 2 or 3 dreads i am trying to grow together. I wouldn't say that they are thin either I do have a few thin ones of random bunches hairs I keep finding and just dread em into one dread. I'll put these together soon but I have run out of wood to carve more beads
I have 83 dreadies--counted while my sister and mom backcombed them for me over the course of a week. It took a total of 34 hours of backcombing. Is that normal? (They backcombed them pretty tightly.)
39 right after I backcomed; after some of them fell out a week later, they reformed and I now have 51 at 6 weeks. I really like how new ones were made after I left them alone.
