    Hello, doubt any of you remember who i am. Infact i think everyone i knew here has all but vanished! Fleassy doesn't seem to post her much any more.
    Well.. i've come to show off my locks (fleassy originals) hehehe they're just over a year old and well, they're different to most peoples. I get a lot of stick from other dreadie people, saying they don't look like proper dreads and arent neat and tidy enough, but hey ho i love them they're wax/rubber band free and always have been its taken up till now for them to really start to develop but i love them i truely do. They've managed to stay really silky too which i happen to love i don't know how i have managed it. Recently i got rid of one of my front dreads so i could pass it on to Fleassy to dread into her hair so she can had a dandy dread with her always :) I have lots of loose ends which are kind of knoting into tiny babie dreads amongst the phatties. I love them, they're a mess and they make me smile everytime day! Excuse me i could write essays i really could!

    they're looking great :) the best kind of dreads are the ones that are left to do their own thing. much more personality, I think ;)

    Maintaining.... uhm,nothing really.. i had them in wraps for a while over the summer but only for about 2 weeks last year. I sleep on a wollen pillow, i tend to tye bits of wool roound big loops in my dreads for periods of time to help them dread back in. I wash it with a natural soup, which is good for the scalp and keeps the skin on my head healthy and less likely to flake or peel... altho i burnted my head pretty bad the other day so i don't think anything will save that from peeling.. [​IMG] i wash it every so often i wouldn't say there was a pattern i used to wash it a lot more earlyer on in the year .. but now it might be once a month or longer than that. It generally depends if i've been somewhere really smokey and they stink of cigaret smoke! My dreadies just kinda do as they please mostly, i get some funny looks for other dread heads and i get some respect too.. they are neat enough for some people.. but hey! They're mine and i love em.

    You sound just like me! I just pretty much left mine to do their thang, and in the back I have 3 HUGE ass congo dreads, and I loooove em... they are a little short, but I figure they'll all even out in the end. I'm lovin' those locks!

    you use a tiny tiny crochet hook and just lock the root of the cut dread onto the end of the host dread.

    i have my soul sisters first ever dread (she has mine) and my step mum grew me a dread too.

    That's a cool idea about sharing dreads! Never heard of it before. And Dandy, your dreads are fucking rockin. I can't wait til my dreads are more formed, but they won't be as thick as yours. Did you have thick hair to begin with?
