OP you have a very kind looking face. Your dreads are gonna be badarss regardless of how you grow them cuz you got the perfect hairtype. Thats all I have to say. byenow.
Haha that's not creepy at all imo. &&Thanks everybody for the support I'll definitely keep everybody updated on my status in the meantime, I'll just be growing it out I guess for a while and see how things turn out.
As a Black American guy that started his dreads off with twist let me try to help you out a bit. The two best methods for your hair type are regular twist (aka comb coils, gel twist etc) and double strand twist. YOU SHOULD NEVER TWIST YOUR HAIR MORE THAN ONCE a month. You have people out there that will tell you that you need to train your hair so twist it twice a month. In the beginning that might seem great but down the road your hair will thin out pretty bad. If I was you Id go to my nearest loctician or natural hair shop and find somebody to start my dreads off for me. After the first 2 or 3 visits to your loctician you can maintain them yourself (it saves you HELLA money by learning to do them yourself and in a weird way its kinda like you get to have a bonding experience with your locs lol) by buying one of the appropriate gels to twist your hair with. Different size dreads dont necessarily go on everybodys head and look right for numerous reasons (but who am I to say what looks right its your hair). Me personally I got all sizes for the most part mine are inbetween small and medium and inbetween medium and large. With whatever decision you make I wish you success.
yes u washem lol... hmm i like yer hair def my favorite kind to work with not to kinky but kinky enuf,, i would actaully either latch (my favorite for medium to small locks ), twist (no gel) or twist and rip with yers depending on how fat u want them and depending how neat and uniformed u want them will depend on if u want to matian them or not.... and im saying this as a hairdresser and loctition lol
yes loctition lol im the exception cuz i actaully know what im talking about plus i have a liscence to my name lol alotta trail and error at first but its all good now
Word, I'm now thinking about just maybe getting the medium ones, people tell me they're easier to maintain rather than the thick ones is this true?
Oh aiigh no doubt, yeah I have common sense so it wont be a problem for me to maintain them. But um would you prefer the fatties or the medium ones do you think on me?
eff locticians. twist em a lot in the beginning (and less as they lock), maybe use coconut oil to moisturize also, don't worry about what any prefers on you, what do you prefer on you? it's easier to start small and go big, rather than vice versa
