Congos with a mind of there own.

I have forced around 10 congos in the last few months. But I guess my dreads have had enough of that...lol
The current dreads I have been messing with, and trying to congo, want no part of that. They have such determination, I cant believe it....lol
I have been using the same method to congo them, as I did with the other 10. Although, these are simply refusing to fall in line and comply. I call them my anarchist congos.
I suppose that I should not expect these to do as the other 10 have? Hence giving up ultimate control, and just finally letting them do there own thing. Even though the other 10 were perfict complient congos?

 

what methis have u used? lol
i havent ripped apart anything in 2 1/2 months now maybe 3 and have a few good conges going now several atr like 4-5 dreads combined
congo9s are as easy as dreading ..just takes patience

 

haha. i felt kinda shitty, you guys, are so senior, you are talking about congos, and im thinking to myself, "i need dreads, just the dreads". haha. well, hope i can get there. haha.

 

yeah what kind of methods have you been using? on some of my smaller ones ive simply been tying them together or twisting them around eachother, but it seems mine dont want to stay either

 

yeh mine aren't very congo-frienfly either, in fact i've never ever had to rip/separate them, except like once or perhaps twice in 14 months. i want some to congo though, so im just gonna have to be patient i suppose. oh...1 small newly formed dreadling hooked on to an old and big one like unnoticed...i remember playing with the small one by itself and the next time i checked like 3 cm of it was totally locked to the bigger one next to it...but thats about it

 

Right on phen, mine are doing the same sort of thing in the back..

windcries, I have just basically palm rolled some together after a deep clean. And they seem to really fuze together after a while, like these ones on the back of my head..

 

i just havent ripped mine since june except 1 or 2 strands that were ofviosl connecting some i didnt want connected and many plasces 2 3 4 even 5 combined into 1
its taken 3 or 4 months but im pretty patient or maybe i just pay no attention to the passing of time it didnt seem like long at all

 

Right on dude....

 

hehe everyones different, mine congo like you wouldn't believe, if i didnt rip them in 4 or 5 days they'd all be combined. but i don't want them congo'ed so i rip the hell out of them (ask my sore scalp). i find i get them more after i have scrubbed visciously while washing them, or when i have slept with them straightdown (without ponytails)

 

what's a congo? xD

 

when 2 or more dreads are growing together at the root

 

oh haha thanks

 

*congos with oregonherbalist*

 

I like that...eace:

 

ooh oooh,, i think mine have been doing this.. sometimes after i wash them i have to rip them at the root. i actually like the noise it makes.. =]

 

since i stopped ropping back in june.. something like 75% of them have grabbed onto at least 1 more most have combined 3-5 though
kinda liking it

have been keepin a lil bit of controll over it but barely any..
i definately dont want it goun too far but i like how its workin out so far..the parts near the roots that have grown together tightlky are already bout 2 invches or so (no way to ever get em apart now)
and theyre combinning rather sensibly with very very few needing any attention to keep em from grabbin ones too far away

 

lol i wonder what you would look like with just congos

 

lol.. I bet they would weigh like 10 lbs each..

 

Ugh, I have the opposite problem. My whole head would be one huge dread (or rather, a matted mess) if I didn't rip them apart once a day. Seriously, it's uncontrollable. I have a few congos going on at the roots, but don't want to congo all the way down (which sucks, because they are at the point where I really can't rip them apart without ripping my hair out).

 

Dang... Sounds like you have some seriously healthy hair roquette..
