new dreads =)

hy everyone! I'm new in the forum but I have been reading it for weeks, it helped me a lot to finally decide.
sooo as you can guess from the title I have new dreads, never had them before but is like I should have had them my entire life.
so tell me what you think, any advice, comment, etc. is veeery welcome
oh! almost forgot, here's a pick of them (sorry if it's not to good)



bye!

 

tiny pic is tiny and links nowhere

also new dreads, they are cool.

 

long haaaaaaaaaaaair

 

they look great! I hope you didn't use wax.

 

thanks for posting
I didn't use wax, just backcombed my hair
all by myself, no one wanted to help me, how sad is that

hopefully I'll have them for a long looong time

 

Welcome, Amicalish! Make sure you post some bigger, more detailed photos soon!

 

Nice work Did it take you long?

 

yes! started at 9:00, finished at 21:00 =S. So yes it took me a long time jaja
but it was worth it

 

so I found out how to post bigger images
tey are only 4 days old now, already washed them one time (I'm use to wash my hair everyday so at day two I was already freaking out with the itching)

this is the back of my head, some dreads are "inclined" to one side, but they are adjusting themselves.



my left side, the fuzzy one


and this is just me smiling, 'cause I'm happy with my dreads

 

As you should be, they look good

 

yeah they look great! im so glad you didnt use wax cause that stuff can ruin dreads in the long run. your a pretty girl. wish ya luck on your dread journey =]

sooo, it's been a week now since I got them
have washed them twice already (last time with the baking soda mix), none came off . I also used some aloe vera gel, it helped with the frizz.
and wraped my pillow in a whool sweater, a little itchy but it helps keeping them in place.
other than that I haven´t do anything else.
so tell me what you think, anything will be deeply apreciated


have to wear them up (or like in the photo) and cover the roots with a scarf or I get some mean looks

 

oh! and thanks for the comments!

 

they look gorgeous. now just leave em alone in a about 6 mos. they'll start to look like locks!

 

Now why can't everyone else get things right first time without posting a fuckton of "OMGICANTWASHMYHAIR!!!!!!" threads first, then leaving because they got trolled / flamed. Truly you are a turn up for the books.

 

Agree with Pypes. Sweet head'o'hair!

 

you and your hair are beautiful

 

haha yeah, and I just washed them .... AGAIN!
I already knew that people with dreads DO wash their hair plus I like to do some research before doing something important (like dreading my hair).
oh and that expression "turn up for the books", had no idea what it ment (not a native english speaker), now I know...and thank you very much I'm flattered.

Now I'll just wait and hope they look good.

 

I know, it will be a huge test for my patience limit
