    DV pleaseee leave it, I realli think you'd regret bleaching. It totally changes the feel of them and I'd say it would take two bleachings to go back blonde. Seriously it realli weakens the dreads so much that they could snap in half. Some of mine have gotten so weak from the bleach that I had to double them up and put a wrap around to congo them together but lost some length..it will get lighter naturally, and looks realli gorgeous! It's a big change but you'll get used to it! Looks lush with the black eyeliner, you were cute before but now your sexxxy <3

    Did a deep cleanse before I did this. Has anyone got an idea as to how to get the icky dust/dead skin out apart from brushing? Its grossing me out that dread skin is in there ><

    I've noticed that same stuff at the ends of my dreads too and it bugs the shit out of me. I usually pick out whatever I can.

    I would have assumed that something like ACV would go a fair way to slowly dissolving the skin flakes over time, or maybe Biological washing powder., I know that will eat through eggs.

    I think you just have to get over this gross kinda stuff that happens with dreads. It's all natural and I don't think there's anything that'll get rid of it completely if you think about it. There will be some holes that dust or whatever can fly into and get trapped. Unless you comb it won't come out. Even if you wash it with ACV or washing powder it's just gonna become loose with the water, travel down and stick in another nook!

    those contacts are freaky! However, the tattoo is lovely. The hair is gorgeous. Your face is beautiful.

    Looking out I can see the rim of the colour around my eye :s I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who also has worn them and she said she couldn't see the colour and the contact looked huge in her eye... So I'm thinking my eyes are too big for contacts xD Lawls I have big eyes xD

    it looks like the left contact seems slightly misplaced on your pupil, but i could be wrong
