I'm back, and still have no dreads..

Hello! I doubt anyone will remember me as I kinda came and went! This was my thread before - http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=379377

Well, shortly after that I had my head shaved (again) I regretted it and ever since have been growing my hair back so that I can take the advice that you good people kindly gave me back then! It's been around a year and my hair is now about the same length that it was before and I'm ready to go. I have the same problem as before though - I can't stop running my fingers through my hair!! Anyone wanna knitt me a wolly hat or I might have to cut my fingers off as someone suggested last time I was here!! haha!

Anyway, just thought I'd return and say hi now that my hair is long enough again!

See you around....:sunny:

 

Take up smoking so you have something to do with your hands when you are bored.

 

Rubik's cubing

 

LOL I remember you. Can't help because I've never had that problem.

Infact, I find it hard to believe that people can't stop playing with their hair.

Actually just backcomb. That'll stop you.

 

Ha! Rubiks cube sounds like a fun idea to keep my hands away from my hair! lol

 

don't bother with dreads

 

My how helpful, aren't you a cheery one! :sunny:

 

It takes patience man, if you REALLY cant stop running your fingers through your hair, then you cannot grow dreads. Sorry man, maybe you should attack that nervous habit dead on so you dont do it anymore.

 

Backcombing to start will make it very difficult to do that

 

Back combing it is then, I was thinking twist and rip but I'll give back combing a go. Thanks for the advice pr0ne420, it's not a nervous habit, just a habit...

 

ah my bad dood! I used to kinda roll my dreadlings back and forth between my fingers when I was nervous or contemplating, but stopped a few months ago. Not touching your hair can be extremely liberating.

 

No worries man, I do appreciate you offering advice - I appreciate everyones tips and advice, so thanks guys! ;-)
