So, I've had my dreads for about 2 weeks now. They were backcombed, with no wax. There are no rubberbands at the roots, but some of them have bands at the tips. I'm using Doc Bronners Tea Tree. They're really fuzzy, but I think that will pass, right? Think they'll be ok? I plan on using crochet hooks eventually, but I'd like them to tighten more first.
they look sick! just let them do their thing dreads stay frizzy for a long time, you just gotta accept it.
nice dreads mate, especially for such a short time! You'll have to get used to the frizzies though, dreads and frizzy hair go hand in hand.
just to add (because i realized i could click on your pics lol) you have perfect hair for dreads and your septum, eyebrows and beard all rock.
Why thank you, Wanderin_Blues. I was considering trying to let it all dread up naturally, but patience is not one of my virtues. I think I that I would like to eventually. I had a vertical snakebite for a while, but had to take them out.
that sucks, ive had to retire lots of piercings. my body really doesnt like them, but they look so pretty lol
I have a few more pics here, taken about a week after those ones. They're getting a bit fuzzier, but no big deal.
