I Haven't touched my tips since I put my dreads in almost 8 months ago and as such I have Five inches of undreaded tips. Well, today with the first weekend off in months I decided to devote the day to my hair. I only got 50% done before dinner with only half my head and the first row or two. I realized this would make an awesome before and after opportunity. All I've done is mash the undreaded tips into my palm (like you are supposed to with the one inch left when backcombing but with the whole 5 inches). I dunno if it will hold or take or tighten but it looks better. Or I think it does, what do you think?
