    Before you reply, read the whole thread, these dreads no longer exist. Thanks

    a little timeline for my dreads.
    I got dread on cinqo de mayo... of 2007 3 days before I found out I was preggers with my son (useless info)
    Anyhoo.

    So no, wax didn't ruin my dreads... I stopped using it once they were well on their way to being secure. and I used to root flip
    now I'm just neglecting because I love them sooo much they are perfect in my eyes... YAY!

    Nice dreads! The 11-11-06 on your tatoo...is that your son's birthday? 11-11 is my birthday, also.

    uh thanks... it was totally easy if you know how to braid hemp. just instead on the inside lines I used the dread. :) It was tight to the scalp when I placed it and it has grown down pretty far.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your twins. That is an amazing tattoo. What does it say at the top of it?

    And on a lighter note, your dreads look great :) It's good to see that waxing them didn't mess them up or anything like that :)

    i do know how to braid hemp. but did you tie the strings into it or something? cause usually the inside string (dread) is tied to the outsides. - idk

    Great dreads. And great tat. How meaningful. I am sorry for your loss. Just know that your babies are safe in the Father's arms.

    I hope my dreads look as great as yours by the time they are that old. Rock on :cheers2:
