ive been workin on my dreads for about five weeks andi just felt like posting pics. i really havn't done a whole lot to em just some rubbin. and when should i start washing them cuz i tryed to wash them last week and a whole bunch just fell apart and when do you think they'll stop stickin out?
looking good man If you backcombed them I really wouldnt worry about them falling out, because they will. Your hair dreads naturally when left alone, and even though you wanted a kick start they still somewhat need to do their own thing. I would wash you hair.... cause its hair right? you still have to remain clean. Just dont stress to much if they fall apart, it happens, many people here went through the same thing. good luck and keep us updated.... ps. remember to use soap that is residue free, soap that has fancy smells usually contains oils which will make your hair slippery, which isnt really what we are going for.. is it?
They're probably sticking out cause their knottin up close to the scalp. Just throw a tam on and that should press em down a bit. Good luck and cheers
wash em wash em every week or 2 they will dread more and more each time u do besides rubbing what did u do..backcomb im guessing what have u washed with when u did had u done anything at all else look like they should grow in phat
i just basicaly rubbed my palm against my head in circles then seperated the clumps and palm rubbed the tips. i used the backing soda, lemon juice, salt, tea tree oil deep cleaning stuff
ahh interesting do u got bronners? the bakin soda might be lil too much for general use till they tighten lil bit but for 5 weaks fairly natural theyre lookin cool... wash em weekly or so, goive em a vigerouse shake and seperate em often and u should be good bein thickjer tho they may hang weird till they grow a lil
i have yet to get bronners but my friend gave me his old dreadheadhq shampoo, will it do the trick or should i get some bronners
Yes, Dh shampoo will work great. Actually I think it would work better in the beginning since you won't have to rinse so much. Cheers
The sideshow bob part is the best bit man! I put hair pins in my hair so i can keep it!! Your knots are gonna look awesome in 6 months time man, looks like they're gonna be seriously huge.
wow you got that result without back combing? nicely done man, very impressive. but wash your hair, even though it losens up from it your hair will dread faster clean.
5 weeks, no backcombing, and they look like that!? Bravo!! I can't wait to see them in even 5-6 months time.
like people said, you should probably wash it every week or 2, whenever you want. Clean hair actually dreads faster than dirty hair, so it's prolly better to wash often in the beginning. And they probably will fall apart a little when you wash, but they will start to knot up...it's all part of the process. Mine does the same thing. Oh and they will start to lay down more when they gain a little length. Looks like they're gonna be phatties!
