hey you all!! i know that the constant advise around here is .'leave them alone to do their thang', but i was wondering...... i dreaded my hair about 3 months ago, and i love them. all natural after 2 applications of wax. all them horror stories scared me off forever! so i have dreads just past my shoulders, and i was wondering about all them loops i got going on. they look super silly, to the point where i dont ever really wear my hair down. there is some with 2-4 loops coming outta the sides.i love tying them up, or wearing head scarves, but i was wondering what i can actively do to get them loops to get inside and tighten up. i wash me dreads about twice a week, and when they are wet i spend much time seperating and palm rolling. so any advice? hoping for sumpin other than 'leave them alone to do their thang' but i can take that too! peace!
oh dude i love ur sig. picture! haha thats awesome, but to the main point, i would also like ot know about those damned loops! i have them to but more by the root of my dread, and they are super annoying. dont those dreadies lok adorable tied up!! haha i hope someone can give us advice. peace!
why have you got my friends on your signature picture do you know jc, kev, stardust and jonny? oh and.. Loooops add character i recon - you've just got to let them take their own course i recon.
yeah i had the same thing at 2 or 3 months..and theyre all gone for the most part..i would loop the dread through the loop until it was tight and then palm roll.
do you mean feed it through the side loops?? i have been crocheting them through the top to keep my roots tight, but i have never thought of looping them through the loops..you really think it will work eh? interesting........... ~Dandelion Blood~ are those really your freinds?!?! how freaky! i was sent the pictue and i thought it was *beautiful*. your just tripping me out hey cave girl?!?!
I love your sig picture as well. I have the loops all over my head as well, they only formed when I sleep with my hair out though, when I sleep with my hair tied back or something I don't get them. I have been palmrolling them but they dno't seem to be going away. Sorry I have no advice.
YEEEH!!!!!!!! they really are my awesome friends and fleassy knows 'em too ( jc - the guy in the lightest trousers and black top/blue hat is her boyfriend) !!! the photo is taken in Avebury (you know it?) it was taken over a year ago, in the blue bell wooods near by...earlyer that morning (and the night before i'd been) i'd been with them celebratiing summer solstice!!!! it is a beautiful photo i agree!
I've had my dreadies for 11 months and I still have those loopies all over the place. On some of the more annoying ones, I sewed them with colorful thread to pull them together...others, I've just left...they do their thing anyway
