I think they looked better before you blunted them...but you don't, which is the main thing. So well done, I guess.
Yeah me too so I am glad that most of the blunted tips came out today when I went in the ocean. I live half a block from the ocean so I plan on going there a lot this summer. Some of the tips stayed on the sides so overall it looks better than before I got the tips done and also better than right after I got them done. I got in the ocean and let my hair air dry. Then I rinsed it off without shampooing. Seems to be working pretty well.
Dreadlocks = "time time time time........time time time" no matter how many times people say leave them alone they'll continue to ignore the advice, do they think we're telling them to leave them alone because secretly we want their dreads to not lock up anyway people will continue to do what they see fit whether others tell them to or not.
I knew they were going to come out but they still look better than before. I didn't pay for them to be blunted.
If they came out they look the same as before, which is what 2 week old 'dreadlocks' look like =/ and nothing short of wearing a hat is going to stop your hair looking a mess for a considerable length of time, but as long as your happy with them, its your time and hair
I am just gonna let them go. I don't want natural looking dreads though. I want manicured dreads. I know most people on here disagrees but that is my preference. Anyway what is the best way to make sure that your dreads are going to grow to be nice and presentable.
The truth is that I truly don't care and I want to let my hair just go but my mom keeps bugging me about it. She one minute is complaining that I am messing with it too much and then when I stop and just let it go she tells me it looks horrible. I told her that it is supposed to look bad for the first 6-12 months depending on the hair. I didn't want to get my tips blunted, she did, but when I did I wanted to make the best of it. Then when they came undone I was relieved but then she wants to set up another appointment for them to get fixed. She is constantly telling me that I need to put on a headband or a tam or something. First of all, my hair isn't long enough for a tam and the one that I made to fit my hair length looks good but I don't like it as much as like a bandana or headband. I wear the headband and she tells me it looks stupid. I wear what she tells me to wear and after maybe a day or two she tells me it looks bad. I can't make her happy. I tried to explain to her that I don't just wake up one day and have perfect dreads. She is a hairdresser so she thinks that she knows what she is doing but she has never done dreads or even known anyone who has had dreads. I can't wait until I move out and don't have to deal with her comments. If I have to keep hearing them I might just get rid of my locs to make her happy because she is embarrassed to be with me in public. I never thought that I would say that she had left patience than me. I hope I don't get to that point. I told her I don't want to use wax and the next day she bought me a brand new bottle of wax when my other bottle was not even open. She doesn't want me to have dreads and it has become very obvious. She is trying to make me feel as bad as possible to make me want to cut them. I am not going to get to that point. I will make a deal with all of you that I will let my locs grow into long beautiful dreads that will be admired and then I will show up to the house and my mom will have to admit that she was wrong. I came on this forum to gain motivation and confidence about my dreads because I am not getting any at home. I am rambling and I know but I just wanted to get it all out in one post. I will continue to fight the daily struggle to please my mom. Please give me some words of motivation.
Maybe you should have thought about that before saying this.. pissing off a bunch of members here isn't a good start
