The Dreadlock Thread

leave it

 

I feel my hair is at a stand still. Hasn't done much these past couple months but I guess I had okay progress from the beginning until about month 4-5 so I can't complain.

And it seems the front/top "dreads" are the same as they've always been and don't seem to be getting tighter or shrinking or anything...

 

After the backcombing fell out, I took all the bands out and just left it alone, save the occasional Dr. B's. The result is dreads that are getting tight, but only about halfway up. The rest isn't yet dreaded.

 

That's what I have been doing... but it's like the dread is puking out the crocheted bit. lol It is slowly getting loopier and I think one has gotten sucked into another dread so they have kinda like a vine between them.

 

yea thas coo

 

Loose hairs all around.

 

Getting sick of explaining to people that dreads take time, but I think mine are doing okay for 2 and a half weeks. They used to stick out at really weird angles when i first woke up in the morning, but they're not doing that now, which makes my life much easier.

 

Mine are.......feeling surprisingly tight and knotty today, this is one of those dready good days, where they look and feel the way i think my dreads "should", even though "should" is just a point of view). I found like a round metal thing on the floor today in my house and scrubbed it clean, when its on my dread it looks like a silve rbead of some sort, i like it, my dreads are good today

 

quite a few at the back of my head are feeling quite matted, and theyre not straight anymore, theyre kinda squiggly, so i think theyre starting to shrink? a few have started to get loops at the roots, and some further along the length. mine are also not anywhere near my nipples... more shoulder length =]

 

My dreads suck

 

my hair grows incredibly fast. they are going to be at my waist in two years

 

Mine feel horrible.. I washed them with Dr. bronners about a week ago, instead of bicarb like I normally do and they felt all greasy and gross, so I washed with bicarb to day and they still feel a bit residuey. I can feel it on my fingers after feeling my hair.

 

mine are wet, I was just scampering in the rain scavenging wild berries... I love tennessee

 

mine are very sweaty and gross at the moment 4 hours at the gym will do that to them lol but they are making me happy and not to many loose hairs either

 

mine are pissed today

 

i didn't rinse mine fully and some of em still had soap today. lol. plus i am starting to hate them if i forget to put on my stocking cap at night. uncomfortable sleep! i wrapped three today so they would stop looking like turds.

 

Sometimes I look at the ones in the back of my head and think they really do resemble turds, grosses me out.
