So I SHOULD start a timeline if Lux and Zilla both suggest you do something you prolly should .. even if your dreads aren't even quite 2 months old and they say you should start a timeline Before-( um..is this really the only decent before pic i have?) a few months ago after a fresh dye job overconditioned straight- it was faded lighter and longer when i started Sooo sometime in May I washed my head (been washing with BS and lemon juice for years so that was nothing new) and stopped brushing. Debated on it all day. My hair was bugging me, freaking hard water+FL humidity had it all sorts of uncooperative-splinting ends and not growing-, I was going to cut it all off or twist& rip it. When the strands started separating into their little groups I twist and ripped May 12 ...this pic sux and yes I was on the phone which is lame- "omg, hubby- i finally did that thing I was talking about, wait to you see my head- and can you do the back for me?" (yeah, all day - if not two days as I found a group ,by myself- I am not sure I ever really got to the underneath bottom ones proper-meh they always tended to dread up on their own anyway.) May 20 something- for a good long month I never wore my hair down and hid its oddness from most of from the world. ... still do sometimes...and I like my headwrap MORE ....(you were all warned of pic whoredom-please tell me if any are too big tho)
One month I wore them down for the 1st time in public today: "i kissed the lead singer" ... I've never actually done that, but I got the t-shirt. back o my sweaty head:
You know because of that thread I did really wonder if it was only a matter of time till zilla made one for me.:cheers2:
Its so weird. Some are soo knotted up - almost to the root.. some are very much not, and like a really thick dread JUST at the bottom.I feel like save for three or so I could put all my hair in a pony tail and it would look like It was just a fake dreadfall
Dang man, thoes look sooo greasy....Hopefully you dont sport thoes all the time?(you never know in these forums...lol)
I did say sweaty ,right? No, I need to wash them.. but only cause I feel like if I wash them and get some of that oily out they MIGHT knot up there faster. I don't wash often though, either honestly.
I think you have quite a bit of progress. And you are very pretty! It was really long beforehand and will be neat to watch it get all shriveled up! lol
I have already lost almost an inch !(on some of them and its weird cause every single thing is a dif length.) , I was telling hubby the other day at this rate when the roots and stuff starts to dread my hairs will be like ear length. I am totally spamming the hell out of this thread responding to everybody LOl sorry 'bout that.
