missed a few weeks of pics for the timeline i'm makin' but meh. out for the holidays. i survived dec 21. 2012


oh im getting contacts soon... I hope getting rid of the glasses will make me look more my age lol.. esp. with my locks pulled back.

 

I love how they curl up at the ends

 

thank you! you would appreciate before i had dreads on (or when i poke all the curls out the bottom of a hat). got a crown of thorn thing going on with all them curly Qs

 

i know this isnt related but im excited, i got new ink on the back of my neck

 

.....carp on your neck?

Are you trying to be mistaken for yakuza or something? You could have at least put it lower, so you can hide it.

I like it, but it looks very badly placed.

 

its centered around the top ball of my spine. it is placed perfectly. Its pisces fish in the form of a yin yang.

if i cared about them being visible my hands and arms wouldnt be covered already - i dont think anyone in mesa AZ is going to think im ya kuza.

 

I don't know anything about pisces.

I assumed they where meant to be koi, as it was an asian symbol.

 

I think it's awesome!

 

its for channeling chi up my spine.

thank you!

 

you look like the guy from placebo? you've either heard that loads or never heard it and I'm just weird...
nice hair!

 

no i have never been told i look like him but he is super ffreaking hot so ill take that as a compliment, thanks!

 

heres pics im turning 20 on friday
thread name is kind of out dated now. x]
i have been completely natural just twisting them for the past few months washing weekly / bi weekly

 

Stop. Touching. Your. Hair.

Looks good.

 

>completely natural
>just twisting

=p

I'm just sure the twisting is really going to make much difference to Caucasian hair... but if it keeps your hands busy! They're coming along now.

 

Weird that you've never been told that...
and why is your hair so curly? looks cool, tis different

 

i consider productless dreads natural. neglect is another story.

i have been twisting them clockwise since about 2 inches of hair, that added to my already very curly hair is what gives them the curled effect.

i know you all have strong feelings for the semantics of dreading - which i find ironic because having dreads is SUPPOSED to be all about doing your own thing. but i assure you i know whats best for them thanks for the inspiration as always.

 

why do you twist though? seems a bit odd and pointless for white people hair

 

I dont have typical smooth thin white people hair. i have thick Irish hair and it gets nappy when it dries out. i twist and separate to ensure they all go the same direction and flow evenly. the hairs rubbing up against each other when i twist them helps for locking too. when i twist loose hairs in, they end up twisting around the dread, which keeps them on the dread they need to be locked into.

 

how old are they now? i guess it must work but it just seems like it'd be counter-productive as you pull the hairs more straight when you twist, but each to their own, might just take a bit longer
