1 year update

So its been nearly a year now..
This was day one:



Six months:



and one year:





My 3 dollar black hair dye is already fading.. I'll try to upload a few more in a bit

 

And two more.. note, my beautiful partner wants dreads as well. I'm trying to talk her into joining the community so you guys can talk her into it

 

ouu the black suits you a lot better.

Her hair is so long and pretty!! It would make awesome locks

 

Nice mouth.. I mean dreads. .
Ooo Looks soo good black.
Your GF has preeetty hair , would make some pretty blond dreads.

 

Any maintance?

 

Just washing it when dirty and ripping it apart when it congos. I have a baddd habit of pulling at them when I'm nervous, which has gotten way worse since I quit smoking (almost 6 months now)... but besides my nervous fidgeting, I basically leave them alone.

 

are your dreads natural?

 

originally backcombed..

 

ahk
and what are those wooden things in your hair in the 2nd pic you posted?

 

They're beads. I make them and sell them on here when there is anyone who wants to buy them.

 

looks good.
you and your girl are cuteness.

 

Ohh I get it now.
You might wanna take them out though because after a week or so they turn into a goo and your dreads will eat them. It can be pretty hard to get it out aswell
or is that wraps I am thinking about?

 

you're thinking of elastic bands aka rubber bands

 

ohhhhhh
Sorry, I am new to the 'dreadlock scene'

 

Well you don't need to buy cheap ass rubber bands. I had mine in (Roots & Tips, and a few more on the body of them) for a good week and a half, and all they did to mine was leave behave like a trap for residue from normal shampoo that I washed with once. Took them out fine... though my bottom ones... I had to fight them to get'em out. Oh and none of them melted, not even a little bit.

I don't know but it helped mine form up and keep its sections nicely, it also trained my hair to stay in place aswell. Kinda like a hat

 

^Awesome! I maybe I will wrap mine in garden vine
Also dreads will only stay in place if wax is used right?

 

enjoy: post moar

 

two moar:

 

Try Alow Vines, prickly sides in, I heard when they start to dry up and die, the aloe comes out, moisturizing ones hair.
