I'm noticing that some of my dreads underneath are shrinking majorly!! Some are just made up of baby hairs so are obvioulsy short dreads but 3 others have shrunk up to 4inches. My longest dread atm is 14inches, I mean, that is quite a shrink! I tried to get a few pics to explain it better, my hair is going absolutely insane-ahhhh! I'm scay-eeed:::
how old are they now lux? 5 months? i dont know if im scared or excited about my potential shrinkage =/
yah 5 months. the shrinkage looks realli weird, the dread is pulled up tight into a bunch just by a few stray hairs that morphed into the dread and pulled it up
see if that happened to me id snap those hairs =/ lately, when im putting mine back into a ponytail and my fingers catch loose hairs that have slight knots, i have to really force myself to not run my fingers thru and break the knots =[ i dont think im too good at this 'leave them alone' thing
now when I tie mine up the rejects underneath just sit there looking all crazy.blaaaaaaa^^<>^^I wanna be able to tie em all up mewmewmemwemmwem
now they're turning into 'real' dreads, they are sooo matted especially where they're growing out. the process seems to have speaded up so quick the past while.eouff;,;,;,;
when i had non-dreaded hair it was bellow nipple height so maybe 25 inch+, now my dreads, 22 months later are all around 12-14 inches or so, granted i cut around an inch of each to neaten some, but even then thats 10 inches shorter than my hair was 2 years ago...
Your at the stage that always reminds me of my junior high days running cross country in very short shorts in the snow....
I have a few like that too!! I took a picture of one and his neighbor for comparison, so you don't feel alone!! They are 5~ months, almost 6. Excuse the graininess!
they are realli interesting to look at at feel I sp'seone day they'll grow....maybeeeb.lovely boldthing
