well im almost at 3 months now and they look worse than they did last month, so much hair that isnt dreaded, im not going to comb them out im in it for the long haul but what i really want to know is this normal? are they suppose to get messier and messier and then get really good somehow? im starting to wonder if this is ever gunna happen to me, i know it takes awhile im just confused because they looked better last month than today
also i was wondering if i put wraps on like all of them if that would help or would that cause mildy dew?
thats perfectly normal. the fact that they look bad now just means that they're doin their job of knotting, unknotting etc. they need to do that in order to mature. just stick with it and they'll come out great. and wraps wont really hurt them and mildew only happens if u dont dry them fully. beads work great too!
thanks , yeah i love beads, i just got kinda down looking at pictures of people with dreads the same age as mine and theirs look better
wrap deffintly help they confine the hair to lock up amogst its self. Constant rubbing against itself. Yes.
stop comparing your dreads are your dreads theyres atee theyres each sand every dread is uniquie and prigresses differently lets see what they look like today burt when i saw them last they were gorgouse
Mine are at like, 2 months i think, and i ahve the lil frizzy loose hairs on them aswell, its perfectly natural, i do a lil dread balling, where i rub them down intl lil balls and get a crochet hook to loop em in to the nearest dread, just one method i use
stop using that methid..your enforcing your will over the will of the dread telling them where each hair should go.. crochet hooks rip hairs as u poke em through dreads this causes more loose hairs not lkess and weakens the dreads over time loose hairs between dreads will fuind theyre own home if left alone..or they will become new dreads on theyre own.. right now i have about 50 baby dreads under 4 inches all from the loose hairs..but i let many combine with other dreads the past few months reducing that number to maybe 15.. of u insist on telling the hairs which dread to be in they will require ripping more often..which will cause more shirt loose hairs....and mopre work if u insist on constantly enforcing your will over natures... just leave emj be..loose hairs take care if themselves
