My dreads started yesterday

i started them yesterday and i did the t&r. i still have a little more to go

 

They have a funky texture going on.

Good start overall I'd say.

Hurrah! (That is me trying to seem a little more cheery!)

 

you started yesterday and you're worried about blunting tips?

friend, dreads take patience.

 

yeah i didnt do them in front of a mirror or anything. i just twisted and ripped all the way. i started mine like luxiebow did i think.

 

yeah i know it takes patentice. just the last time i tried dreads again, they came out the second day because they werent tight enough to start. i wanna make sure these stay

 

So you had dreads before for one day?

They will most likely 'fall out'. Just forget about it for a while, they will be all dready before you know it.

 

i had dreads for a year and then cut them then i tried multiple times after that but they never stayed. hopefully these will stay

 

mine didn't "stay," but I waited long enough for them to... return.

 

when I got my drewads I was also worried about them coming loose.
A friend suggested that I dip the tips in yoghurt and let it sit for a few minutes.
At first I was a bit skeptical with this method.:

But it actually worked wonders.. 100%

 

You TnR'd in a very weird pattern...

...They definitely aren't gonna stay the way you did 'em, I'd actually just restart..

 

It looks like you flipped them too. Weird looking.

 

just leave em

 

did you braid some?
As Vig said...just leave em. With time they'll stick and dread. But when I say "with time" I mean ya gotta give it at least a year or two.

 

looks good for your start, just leave them be and they will turn out fine. some peeps round here are just mean, dont pay them no mind, guess they forgot what its like be the new person round here...

 

Shave your head

 

are those braided? or flipped?

 

twisted and ripped. i did um fast so they look weird, i know.

 

ur cute

 

thanks

 

The dread your holding in the pic needs to be redone, unless you want a VERY awkwardly positioned dread..... Actually it's probably gonna fall out anyway so it doesn't matter.
