The Dready Meet & Greet Post!

hello i am bree...alot of people around here already know me but i woul;d just like to say i have rejoined the knotty people with a new fresh head of dreads**HuGz**

 

Hello, I'm Maryse and posted here before introducing myself (How rude!). I've had my dreads for 11 days now. I (my girlfriend) backcombed them, but we didn't use wax. They're locking up fine and I'm in love with them! Wish I could post a pic, but I don't have a cam! (damn!)

 

^updated pic of the mess They are 1.5 months old.

 

Hello
I am Tyler...yeah...

Ha, so yeah...my dreads are about 2 weeks old now, my best bud Val did them for me, it took us 12 hours to finish. So worth it though.
Heh I don't really have much else to say, looking forward to speaking with you kind folk.

 

My name's Kat, I've had my dreads for just over 2 weeks now and I am utterly in love with them. I did them myself with a whole lot of backcombing, and no wax used as of yet.

This is when they were first done. I still haven't done the bangs, and I don't think I'm going to. I've cut my bangs shorter since then though.


This is a few days later. Me and my best buddy, Biggs the hermit crab.


And this was actually taken today. I like beads, and you can see that my dreads look so much tighter and less fluffy now.

 

Nice sista! DO NOT USE WAX! Dready mamas and papas that use wax smell because bacteria grows under the wax because it is impossible to get wax out of your hair. You have to use hot hot hot water that will burn your head to get it out. My dreads are about 2 months old and no wax has touched them. I use natural oils to control the frizz. I use Dr. Bronnors' 18 in 1 Hemp castile soap. It's amazing! I suggest you pick a bottle up from whole foods.

Hi I'm Dan um I took my dreads out they were too thick for my hair (ultra straight) thicker dreads tighten quick too XD so now imma get thinner ones ill post pics when they're done

 

ya'll look GREAT! i'm jealous. i wish i had a camera so i could should you how mine are coming along. it's been almost 3 weeks since i've brushed my hair and they're already coming in nicely.. i just wish i could see the back of my head .. i feel them.. but would like to get a good look

 

Do the two mirror thing. YOu know, like have a handheld mirror in one and and turn around and have your back facing your bathroom mirror...LOL I haven't seen the back of my head in a long time either lOL

 

i looked for a second mirror.. okay okay i sorta looked for one.. and then gave up after not just seeing one out. i'd still like a picture of my head.. i think they're coming in nicely

Nice locks mine were like yours till they fell out in the swimming pool it was so hot ou ti couldn't live without the pool. Oh well re-doing them now then going natural! Hey guys check Ozzie out!



Ozzie's locks are awesome lol

 

hello everyone, my name is sam. im sorry if i was rude and didnt introduce myself before but i never really noticed this thread. anyways i started my dread journey on june 5th and since then my dreads have fattened up, shrunken about an inch on some or more, and gone CRAZY with loops. more loopps than ive ever seen on anyone. here are some pictures of my dreads so far. sorry if they are a little big

1st day i got them done




and heres now 53 days into it




my favorite one..



and a close up



yes, yes, i know rubberbands are bad but i surf all of the time and the salt water helps all of my tight dreads which is most of them but there are like 4 or 5 extremely fragile ones around the nape of my neck and back of ears that seem to just get looser and looser whenever it ake the rubberbands off and go surfing. i've already tried it once. im planning on taking off the rubberbands everywhere else in a week and just leaving the rubberbands on the fragile ones for a while longer till they tighten up a bit, sound like a good plan?

 

rubberbands are out as i type this

 

yay! they're looking wonderful, sam, just keep it up

 

I feel so-o-o old! I've probably got hair older than you guys. Anyways, I'm new to this forum. Some day when I don't feel so old and fat, I'll post a picture. But some of old folks do have nice locks!
