lol its only been 2 days

 

thats what much of my hair looks like now at almost 3 months, but your hair is about twice as long as mine. I do have a few locks starting up, and have one fat one that came from a clump i never pulled apart thats behind my ear.

 

your hair wants to dread you'll see in a month

 

Drews: yea i know what u mean the girl that help me backcomb my hair made one a little too fat but i love that one since it was first one

soaring: lol maybe one day ill be able to use my as a pillow like urs

 

your hair looks a lot like mine when i started my first set of dreads, exact same texture and length. they were super fat and locked up fast, im sure yours will too. be prepared for the thickest hair ever lol i cant fit my hand around my dreads to tie them back

 

i cant wait til i get mys locked already lol
but my roots seem like there not dreading idk if thats normal
ill post some more pictures later on this week or next

scatter: u should post another picture of ur locks like a more close up cause im really curious how they look now lol

 

ok, i suppose its time to a pic lol.
this is at 1 year and 3 months-


my hair is shorter now, but its the same wavy, thick texture. i started off with backcombing but it fell out pretty quick and i mostly just left my hair alone after that. dont worry about your backcombing loosening, or your roots being undreaded. most of mine have two inches of strait hair at the roots. the ones underneath that are almost neglect have the tightest roots actually and they also have to craziest shapes. about ten of my dreads on top have been messed with by friends, like i have two rounded tips and a couple of them have had the loose hairs crocheted in. i dont personally do anything except rip them apart though (except for a few congos lol).
yup, thats my dreadies i wish i had pics of my old set, they looked exactly like yours.

 

looking good both of you.

scattered: you have a nice yard! I would like to run around on that grass barefoot
