Ugh, what should I do?

Okay, while removing some loose hairs around my dreads, I accidentally cut one off...I didn't think it was noticeable, but because of all the hair I took off, and the dread, there's an obvious bald patch in the bottom of my hair line.

Should I wait until the hair grows back and then back-comb it?

 

wait....you were cutting off your loose hairs?

 

lol, plz post pics

 

Yes, because it looks better without having, as a friend put it, "Dreadlocks with an afro on top".

 

thats horrible...dont do that!!!! lose hairs are food for your dreadies...golly there had to be a better way!!!!

 

They'll just grow back man, least use a latch hook or summat

Can you not sew the dread back on if there is a stump? Or is there nothin there at all?

Poor little guy

 

Roflmao

 

Its not funny....well okay...it is.....
I get that frustrated with loose hairs too...but goodness

 

awww sorry man! I think all you can do is wait for it to grow back. You could back comb it or let it dread naturally as it grows. is it that noticeable? It could be more in your head than anything else. Post pics if you can.

 

just let it grow, man. what other choice do you have? besides, most people probably can't even notice it. I had an actual bald spot on my head, due to stress or something, and not a soul mentioned it. Even if they did notice it, they didn't have the balls to say anything.

 

lmao ooooh dear this thread is making me laugh out loud way more than it should...aww I'm sorry...but...oh lol

 

It's not funny you guys!

 

Is it just me or would it not be counterproductive to cut loose hairs when trying to grow dreadlocks?

Hell yes I know it is, all those loose hairs that you cut off would have been getting sucked into the other dreads, cutting them off is the last thing you want to be doing. I remember recently there was a guy on knottylocks who had been doing the same thing, and then was complaining that his dreads were getting really thin at the roots

If you want to stop the birds nest going on on the top of your head then crochet, dreadball those loose hairs in, do whatever you need to do, man waxing them would probably be better than cutting them off. Cutting those hairs off is about the worst thing to do to them they are your future dreads

 

I cut one of my locks of in memory of a friend that died. I just left it alone and it dreaded up naturally.

 

awww...there there buddy *gives dreadlocksftw an e-cookie*

eh...just let it fix itself i say...

and thanks for makin rookie mistakes and postin about em so i won't do the same

 

I don't need your pity!

...


*Takes the E-cookie reluctantly, running up a near by tree to nibble on it in a squirrel-like manner*

 

oh god
dreadlocks and cutting hair 2 oposite philosophies

how nmany mistakes are u gonna make because you listen to idiot freinds? u hsave great locks u hate cause they hate em u chop off your dreads because they dont like a lil frizxz fuck your frteinds
dstop listening to them
dont cut the hair thats just dumb

the frixzz ..or afro as u call it is meant to be there..it adds hair to existing dreads, ir becomes new baby dreads and ..it protects the scalp from ssunbburn (and skin cancer) leave it alone and ignore your dumbassed freinds

this freind..does he know anything at all about dreads?

 

You did what?????

 

guys, he's only 15! when I was 15 I shaved off half my eyebrow and had to pencil it in for a month after. I got realli good at it though. Anyway, I like DV sew on to the stump idea

 

i had a friend in middle school who shaved off both his eyebrows as a joke...

he got to school...and turned out the joke was on him

he regretted that decision hahahaha
