anyway of gettin rid of these rat tails at the end of my dreads , i've only have dreads for a week or so. any help is apreciated Heres a link if the image doesnt work: http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rattailsra2.jpg
if you really want to get rid of them you could cut them roll them into themselves roll them into the locks crochet them into the locks tie them into the locks and im sure there are a number of things you could put into your hair to help those methods. actually, you will need specific things for a few of those methods. for example, you would need a lock-safe type of string or band to tie into the locks, something like hemp. i would recommend letting them be though. how did you start your locks anyway?
your locks are a week old theyre not locks yet they need tome to lock up leave em be umm how can u say u started em naturaly then backcombed to speed it up if it was only a week? you mean you intended to start em naturaly but got very impatient very quickly? either way they are backcombed hair now they will need tome to settle in and since its just a week and u already have up on natural gir impatient and backcombed i highly recomennd you just sit back and waut.. let em do what they do dont cut em dont tie em dont crochet or whatever just leave em be learn to be patient they will change alot over the next frew months
I backcombed and tried to role the ends on a few about 3 weeks after, didn't do any good. the rolled ends loosened and the free ones knotted up by themselves a little so there about the same now. Easier not to bother.
the tips won't be nearly knotted up by a week. and you have backcombed dread starts, not full on dreads. i know, i hated it when people said that when i first started, but it's true. your hair hasn't actually dreaded itself yet. give it time. you could hold the tip of the "dread" in one hand like a pencil, and rub the tip on the other palm in circles. that does help somewhat. i did that a lot and go nice rounded tips, but then i decided i didn't want rounded tips anymore, and combed them out when i ripped them apart. have a little patience!!! even a little goes a long way when it comes to dreads!
donmt buen the ends..please i trum my beard by accudenlty catchin my face on fire but it stucks just leave em alone and theyll be fine
i didnt mean i went natural for a week, i backcombed a week ago i went natural for 2-3 months, but i was gettin bored of the tangled mess
