Haha xD "english cucumbers. imported by spain" I think our cucumbers are just over a foot in length (thats 30cm) and maybe... 6-7 inches cirumference? So like 3 or 4cm across ^^ I don't really like cucumbers... I don't like the squidgy seed bit in the middle xD ergh ^^
Well thanks for not going off topic!!! LOL LOL LOL I just wanted to know if they are naturally gonna blunt or if I have to make that choice and help them. Thanks for all the help. You can continue to talk about cucumbers if you want to. My dreads are on average the size of about 2 sharpies stuck together and a few in the backs are pretty small. I am planning on congoing about 4 of them to make my 40-50 dreads into about 20 when they are more mature in about 6-12 months.
I think those are cucumbers, the smaller ones are like unsoaked pickles (In holland we call those 'augurken', but I thought in english they were still called cucumbers :S)
the first couple of times i made attempts to blunt my tips(bout 6 months in i thing, i tried several different techniques), most of them loosened up and unraveled sooner or later. Blunting tips permenantly is not easy, but when i came across some hair(human hair for extensions) that my sister didnt use i got an idea. i cut of about 20 cm(better with too much then too little) of hair, 7-15 strains of hair. then i palm rubbed each of the tips (the less hair the harder this is is)too a smal ball keep them together. then i used a smal sewing needle with sharp tip, and sewed back and forth through the tips(witch was already blunted but loose) till they bacame hard as rocks. It has worked realy well and i no longer have to worry about my tips at all. try to get ahold of hair close to your own colour. If your having a hard time keeping your blunt tips from loosening upp i highly recommend it.
I have a few that are blunted, naturally, and my locks are only 6 months old. I encouraged a few but most are wispy. I like variety
