wuts up ppl. i need ur help and advice. i have straight hair, and i got it twisted and put into rubberbands like 3 days ago. some hairs r coming sorta loose and each square, the supposably dread is skinny. help me out guys please. thnx
take out the rubberbands ya didnt use wax did u? hope not twisted hair will untwiust before it dreads just be patient maybe add a few beads if u want 3 days aint nuthin dreads take time nothing happens in days
im scared if i take the rubber bands out my hair will untangle. no i didnt use wax. actuallty the lady that did'm didnt use anything.
good and you want them to move and untangle and retangle twisting inly got em started time and movement does the rest if u dont remove the bands in just days they can be swallowed and start to rot inside thre dreads also once knots begin to foerm removing the bands will mean tearing apart some knots get them out give them time let them do what they do..which may mean fallin apart alot b4 they tighten up lets see somne pics of what she did ]of all she did was twist em some u might wannas replace bands with beads if she twist nm ripped em to get em knotty then just remove bands wear tams and be patient
hmm well take out the bands wear a wool hat alot i dunno what she did but they will dread better if u leave em be they will most likely ploosedn up b4 they start to dread, i hope u doidnt pay to have that done its a start, niot a particularly great 1but a start.. now just get the bands out and see what they do dont be surprised if alotta that falsds apart thiough that will happen but they will dread slowly if some of em stay sectioned and dont fall completely apart then your ogff to a good start
thnx 4 the help man. i think she did the crochet hook method. she said she wants the roots to lock up 1st. n she told me not to take of the bands for about three months. lol wow n i paid 160 dollars which i think was way 2 much
u got screwed take the bands out if u leave em in 3 months your screwed they will be rotting and melting inside your dreads also..if u simply tie a knot in the end of a section of hair it will dread towards the roots so dreading from the roots 1st towards the tips is opposite of how dreads dread stick a bead in the end and they will dread from there 160 ids insane maybe if u had hair to your waist its fair but your hairs short and shouldnt have taken long to do that lil hbit to it u coiulda done better yourself for free hell i could use 160 for nothin so pay me for tellin ya to just be patient and it'll dread on its own..lol
lol thnx alot man. so i take of the bands and put a bead on. any other advice 2 makm lock quicker?? ive always wanted dreads but i played high school baseball n my coach wouldnt alow them. any soaps or wax i might need?
Hey man Looks like you got ripped off sorry As I have now just realised, getting dreads is a journey and takes time, the quicker you rush them and get them looking good, the shorter they will last. When you have just got them, dont wash them for a week or so, then just wash the scalp, just get some special shampoo or something that doesnt leave residues behind, but im sure soaring eagle will let you know which one as he is the guru here lol Take the bands out, I never put bands in mine, I put cotton around two of the weaker ones and that has helped, dont untangle any of the hair just take out the bands, and leave it to its own devices put the bead on over the top it will do what it needs to do, you can back comb it a bit although I have been told it should be a one time thing, doesnt stop me from getting maintenance done every 3 weeks which includes back combing at the roots and palm rolling. Where a tam or beanie, preferably wool. Good luck man, you will do fine. Peace of the grove /|\ Alex
oh also the soap i got told to use is dr bronner's tea tree oil soap to it doesnt leave stuff behind in ur hair
any regular shampoo does the job, dont be afraid to wash it..i have used morrisons own brand, lynx bodywasg, etc whatever i have in my bathroom! never done my hair any harm.over 13yrs growing my dreads.
well u shouldnt have but no harm done only set ya back a lil bit what shed doene really didjnt get ya that much of a strart and just havin the beads on will help just give emtime to tangle now wash em (mostly scalp) weekly at least and relax..see what happenbs week by week month by month
oh man that sucks she seems to indeed have fucked you... however if you want to you could ask a friend to back comb your hair. then atleast you got sectioning for the money you paid. due to the length of your hair and the fact that she just pretty much just twisted it means that if you take the bands out most of it will probably untangle. meaning that youll go from twists to growing naturals. not that thats a bad thing im just telling you. seems to me that putting a bead on each one seems kinda uncomfy:/ but if you do this then i suggest small beads as they wont be as annoying when you sleep, not to mention be as visible(trust me i have beads at many of my roots, and the bigger ones are not comfy to sleep on). also i would suggest beads the same colour as your hair.(that is if you dont want them all to show).
