My babies are born

Hai guys, yesterday and today me and my friend Tonje have been T&Ring my hair, giving birth to 30-ish baby dreads



My nose looked epicly crooked and weird, so I drew a heart <3 and it's a bad quality web cam, but it's the best I can give you atm.

BIG BONUS, I look like Ernie/Bernie from finding Nemo when I'm wearing my beanie.



Sleeping with my beanie at night, gonna wash them once a week-ish with Dr. Bronners and otherwise leaving them alone letting them do their own thing. Also, how does it help putting a stocking on my head while washing? I've seen some people recommend it, but I'd like to know how it's supposed to help.

And also I'd like to thank you guys on this forum, if it wasn't for you I'd have gone to a salon wasting like $6-700 on crocheted dreads. Cheers guys :cheers2:

 

From what I can see they look cool! Me thinks you're going to have some wicked locks eventually!

 

they look good, but you don't have to put a stocking on your head when washing. whoever came up with that must have the intelligence of a stool sample.

 

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to make sure

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for the help beforehand luxie :cheers2:

 

omg they remind me of my baby dreads(when they were babys) cept mine were thinner

i loves yours i want to pet them lol

good luck

 

Moar pics with a better, but still kinda shitty camera.

 

Off to a wonderful start! =)

 

I would actually take the beads out untill maybe 2-3 months man, i put a couple of beads on my dreads when i first backcombed and they left a couple of small, unknotted parts on the ones i had the beads on. They need time to start knotting up first

 

Oh okay, thanks for the tip man! I'll take them out then and start putting them in again in a couple of months :cheers2:

 

looking good man. I like the fact you've got about 30 so dreads. On most heads it seems to produce the thickness that i like the most.

 

Sorry for spamming you guys with pictured, but I love them already and can't wait to see progress in a couple of months I know the best is prolly to leave them alone and ignore them to make progress more obvious, but I cant stop touching them and looking at them in the mirror. I feel like I'm a 10 year old girl who just got her first puppy lol

 

i love puppies, they taste so good...um, i mean, nice start homie..lookin good

 

lol find a better camera.

good work though and I think beads are fine in the beginning as long as you move em around a bit.

 

Great locks bro!!

Use a flippin flash or turn a light on for crying out loud! If I have to steal and edit just to repost so we can actually see one more persons pics from this forum I'm'll lose it


:cheers2: I really do like em though

 

The flash on my camera is brilliant, because for close ups the objective shades the light and only half of the flash actually lights stuff up. But I could take some outside in the daylight I guess

 

=) Looking good!! I remember when I first got mine that I felt very narcisistic. I couldn't stop looking at them!

 

Update, and some quick questions.

They feel like they're unraveling a bit, and I'm also getting alot of comments about them unraveling - but they are still sectioned, although they are feeling alot softer and smoother than when I got them. I was told there would be some unraveling, so I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track and should just wait it out, but I just want to be on the safe side and ask if it looks decent for two weeks : D







Also, I KNOW I look sad. I'm just concentrated and not very photogenic

 

they look very good for two weeks just ignore what other people say to you, most of them don't know shit. I still have people asking me if my dreads are normal and I'm about 11months in! just leave.them.be ignore them for at least the first 3months :cheers2:

 

relax dude, your 2 weeks in. Many more months before they actually start locking up

 

That's what I was thinking, I just needed to be entirely sure :cheers2:

Oh, and speaking of leaving them be - I've been t&r'ing my ends as they've been coming loose, do you think it helps at all or is it pointless? Thanks for your help
