day 1 of "backcombing" although only about 5 of those original sections stuck. the rest have since been re-hit because those people were not very effective. But i love them for getting me through it and making sure it happened. 6 weeks ago!

 

the lovely boy who helped me

 

help with dreads is what makes the magic happen we owe it all to those guys and that dude has some wicked knots!

 

I'd like to send a shout out to my cat. Without her constant playing with my hair and sleeping on my head I wouldn't be where I am today :tongue:

 

yes he does... he has had them for more than 3 years

 

i wish i had some pictures(i'm sure someone does) because it was awesome!
i had ALL of my friends come up to my "dread party", and had all of them do my hair for me. so not only do i just love my locks, but they're the results of some of the people i've loved the most^^

kinda cheesy..i know...but hey..i like it^^

 

how exactly do you do dreads, i know its some kind of tieing sequence but i dont know what the tying sequence is?

 

tieing sequence? not quite... maybe try the thread with faqs in it settle.. would answer alot of questions yo u already have n teach ya something new besides

 

its called "backcombing" ... check it out on google or here

 

wow this dilligaf person insists on just busting my balls all the time, i ask question because i dont know them, sorry im not some hotshot that knows everything, but thank you Roji for explaining that in a polite manner hah

 

ummm..i did mine myself, so i guess i should thank my mom for letting me...i guess

 

lol

 

wtf? dilligafs response sounded pretty damn polite and helpful to me :S

anyway, i dont have anyone to thank for my dreadies, i made them myself. but there is one guy who rips them apart when they consume each other. hes my bestest buddy.
ill get a piccy of him and his awesome dreads (which i made hehe) asap.

 

Thanks to my pal Rose, who did the sectioning and backcombing one night, and then helped me rebackcomb them and also did some crocheting in the back parts where I couldn't reach. Grazie, sorella.

 

i guess i should thank the years betweeen 1990 & today?

 

I have to thank my hubby for helping me with mine. I wish that I would have gotten a picture of him while he was hard at work. lol.

 

My thanks go out to my husband and my best friend, Griddlebone.
