pleat and neglect method

anyone have any positive/ negative stories to do with "pleatt and neglect" for caucasian hair, as it seems like a sensible option to me, but i'm struggling to find any information about this method

 

for caucasian hair, it is not sensible. it probably takes the longest to mat of any method.

 

yep...what she said. =]

 

Takes a shit long time from what ive read

 

Takes a long time. By the way love your username, white man from Cumbria.

 

I have seen them before and think they look awesome. Even tried to do one in my own hair in some of the loose hair I have but even after crocheting the end of it, it fell out. I have super straight, fine hair. If you have curly hair, I think you would have a lot more success with this method. Somewhere in the inspiration thread I think there is this white lady that has them and they look so nice.

 

By "pleat" I think you mean what I would call "braid" If so, the method has worked very well for me, especially in places where my hair is courser & curlier.

 

What does this look like after time? I still don't get it. So half the hair is braided and the top or new growth is what dreads?

 

gretaoto, here is one I found online. They are tough to find I guess.

 

its inna de heart

 

Jah praise you. :cheers2:

 

u mean plait rite? like the four strand braiding around the hair?

 

plait = braid in places outside north america
