My new dreads =D

Ok got my new dreads yesterday like I wanted. I like them and think my gf did a pretty good job on them. Can't wait for a month or two to pass so they lock up a little better. Ok Before pic =]



And a couple afters =]





I know I got a zit in the middle of my forehead sorry bout that lol.

 

Congratz on starting your dreads, and don't worry, you cant see the zit...much.

peace.

 

Until you mentioned it...you should edit that part out then we won't notice..lol

Lookin like a nappy start, just rip the bitches a part when the grow together and you will have some locks.

 

Damn thats a huge freakin zit!!!!!
Kidding

Happy Birthday lil ones!!!!!!

 

i didnt see the zit either till i read that then went back and thought..holy shit hes a unicorn..
sorry..ya asked for that by drawing our attention to it..lol
but the dreads llok fine
kinda a messy version of backcoming instead of the sideshow bob libertyspike type
they should form well but i can already see a danger of congoing if you dont keep ontop of seperating em till they tighten up
some of em underneath and in the back seem poorly defined (no worries there, backcombinfg is not dreading, your statement i got my dreads yesterday is a false one, you backcombed yesterday, yoyr yet to get your dreads, that happens over time..
the back and inderneath will dread naturaly over time you'll just have to keep seperating or ui can get a semi large mass there

congrats on starting your long journey tho..
sit bacvk and relax and enjoy the ride

 

I think your dreads will look great in no time, your hair looks wavy and thick!

My hair looked similar to yours when I started and right now they are all loopy and bumpy and crazy, I am looking foward to seeing your progress!

 

Congrats!!! Please post updates here. I love following the journeys on here now.

 

Congrats on getting your dreads!

 

lmao Photoshop is your friend!


Congrats on the dreadlings

 

nice start how long did they take

 

yeah i've been seperating them alot, and i don't mind the zit it'll go away. but it took like 5 hours to do and any tips on helping them from like getting undone?

 

Try to go at least a week without washing if you can stand it.
When you do wash concentrate more on the scalp...becareful of scrubbing the dreads much. Palm roll a lil while damp.

 

very nice

 

Yeah, I've been trying to hold off on the washing, I just soap up my body and try not getting my hair wet. They seem like they won't come out so far but the bottoms have undone a bit, was gonna have my gf do some of the bottoms over and if she can't just listen to soaringeagle and give it time.

 

O and I got quite a bit of loose hairs will they just go into the nearest section or what should i do?

 

I have a lot of loose hairs too. I just let mine be. I have nothing against maintenance, I just never got the hang of it. I think dread balling is good for new fuzz babies.....but I cant tell ya how to do it.

 

ok i'll let them be, let nature takes it's course for now

 

They look good so far! But with all the zit talk, man, that one looks like it hurts like a bitch. A dab of toothpaste on it might help to dry it out and relieve some pressure. That's always worked for me.

 

Thanks, and the zit does hurt like hell. and thanks for the tip =].

 

Ok my gf is gonna put some beads in my hair today, you know to keep them seperated. When I get them on I'll post the picture. And tell me how you think my hairs doing =].

O and the beads may be oddly colorful, because she doesn't have alot of one color lol.
