good evening! I've been ATTEMPTING to grow dreads for a few months, and as i know they take a long time to form, if you start out with short hair. The past four or five months ive spent doing the usual routine to 'grow' dreads, but i've been thinking about the way i sleep.. I'm half black, so my hair grows in a fro. when i sleep though the back+side (depending on how i sleep) is extremely flat, as in it takes around 3 minutes of water/hand use just to get it to curl and regain some sort of density. I was wondering if this would interfere with growing dreads, seeing as in the mornings i "poof" the flat parts out so they dont look.. well, flat. hope it made sense! thanks
instead of poofing the flat parts out twist them into clumps the poofing is unknotting anty knots just grabv a chuink and twist it into a section dont over do it though u can do dammage after doinmg this for several days though they should start to hold together in the sections and begin to dread
I'm half-black too, and my dreads only went in paddles if I washed it before going to bed. If you've been washing it before you go to sleep, I would suggest stop and wash it in the morning instead.
I have a nappy fro too, and I get that same flatness every morning. And I have two flat paddles growing out in the front since it's been dreading along... I dunno...I don't mind flat dreads as much as everybody else seems too...eh.
im half black as well and my hair did the same thing but all i did was let it grow. i ripped em of course. i have some flat ones but it really doesnt bother me at all. actually i have a pretty nice congo goin in the back lol
im 1/2 white..and the other 1/2 white too many of my dreads are flat..i love em more then ther round ones they got more personality i never understood why people would work so hard at removing every hint of personality from theyre dreads forcing every hair into place forcing the tips to be perfectly blunt rolling away every lump and twist making them perfectly uniform and round seriusly how boring the wilder and crazier the better
