    Excuse the so-so quality. My sister (who snapped the shot) failed to focus correctly, and I didn't notice until I transferred it to my 'puter. Oh well :)

    It's not entirely visible in this pic but my dreads are still pretty darn flat and loopy. And as can be seen I lack dreads completely on the upper part of the back of my head (in the middle, see?) which is kind of a bummer.

    Anyways I plan on revising my maintenance routine to include spraying salt water everyday and palmrolling as often as I can bother to. I will also put nuts (as in "nuts and bolts") to make them less flat. Finally I will remove most of the root beads and see what happens.

    It seems to be a law of nature that sisters are unable to correctly use cameras.

    Also, nuts sounds like a very goot idea, I think I've got some M12's knocking about somewhere. It may be best to run a file round the inside because the threads can be quite sharp.

    A fine idea. The single nut I have now is really old and a bit blunted so that one's probably not a problem, but when I get new ones I'll be sure to remember to smooth them out a bit.

    Yeah my sister said she knew of other people who had nuts... me, I never heard of anyone prior to myself :p

    I removed the beads to see if it would worsen or improve the dreads. I'd say it's gotten a little better since I did. Though I haven't removed all of them.

    Steampunk yeah. Though I no longer dress the part. Blame shitty availability of good waistcoats and a lack of talent to sew ones of my own!
