well first off let me say i'm sorry if the question has already been answered.. well unfortunatley i dont have dreads anymore (except for one ). but i'm still interested: what to do with the stray hair (you know the ones that stick out of your dread). i used to use wax, but with all this talk of wax being bad i'm confused.. a little offtopic: can't wait for ma hair to gro long enough again.. once you go dread you can't go back
ummm leave them leave them stray and they will sort themselfs out over time. Patience is the key However if you dont have patience a small crochet hook comes in hand but be carefull so its makes the dreads look a bit silly if you over do it.
how u said once u dread u can never go back... i think that is def. true haha. i could never take my dreads out and not want them nemore. like idk having non-dreaded soft hair is nice... but theres just somehting about dreads i love. haha peace~
I sewed my loose hairs into my dreads just about a month ago and it worked great. I think I'll start doing this about once or twice a year now.
from my experience, i´ve learned that the more you mess with your dreads, the worse off they´ll be. every thing that i´ve "done" to them has ALWAYS reversed itself somehow and caused more damage than good. loose hairs WILL dread up if you leave them alone. besides, they give character
I like the way loose hairs look when people have straight non puffy hair. I, on the other hand, have curly puffy hair.. so loose hairs just look gross.
I have loads of frizzies, I just couldn't be bothered to keep on top of them anymore so I just leae them & they look pretty good anyway's
I say leave them...but if you're kinda self conscious about it, you can twist them in your fingers (if there is a chunk of hair that's sort of all over the place) until they wind around themselves... That usually does the trick...and they will knot up into a dread on their own.
I just leave mine alone but, I know in a year or so I'll have to do something if they haven t dreaded back in cuz, I mean its the hair that broke out of your dread and if it doesn t get back in there somehow, I'd think you would have a pretty thin dread. I like the sewing string thing though. sewing string works wonders in dreads
Yeah those little tiny dreads are great. They just form out of nowhere. If I had a camera I'd post pix of mine.
