hi friends! my dread progression

hey dudes & dudettes,
my name's courtney & i'm new to the forum. and i have pictures to add so i can finally get tips & advice from fellow nappy heads! awesome. here are some pictures which show my hair in it's natural state, as well as when i decided to stop brushing my hair, and then my hair now in full-blown dreadlocks:

(i'm on the right) long & straight in 2003

me in summer 2004, gave up on trying to brush my hair anymore!

my dreads now!!! grow, dreadies, grow--I miss the length!
have a wonderful day people! i look forward to exploring this forum so i can look at everyone's knotty locks

 

awww! your dreadies are beautiful! i really like all the beads in them

 

wow, is your hair naturally straight? (I hope that does not sound like a stupid question)

 

stunning

 

Could we see a pic of like ur face with dreads?

 

wow, those are nice and fat dreads!! your hair shrunk a lot. cool pics, i like to see the ones when they show stages of their dreads, its awesome. peace~

 

Wow, I was totally not expecting your dreads to look like that when I scrolled down. Those are awesome

 

Yea two thumbs up ...

 

wow very very wonderful dreads

 

thanks you guys it's still really weird for me to look in the mirror everyday--and i have DREADLOCKS! haha. yeah my hair is naturally straight, but it had gotten so long & tangly that i got fed up with combing & brushing it out every time i washed it, just to have it knot up again in a couple of hours.

i'm self-conscious wearing my hair down....i feel like a jellyfish head ! so i don't have many pics of my face w/ my hair down, but i'll look around at some of my friends' albums and try to find a picture to post

 

i don't have a digital camera or a scanner, so this is the best i could come with of my dreads down:

 

OMFG u`r Dreads are awsome!!!Love them,just beautiful!

 

yeah those dreads are trully beautiful

 

Wow! Those are so nice!

 

holy! they're so fat! I went natural too and I got like 55 tinnies! haha. AWESOME!

 

Beautiful locks!! Just absolutely stunning.....
