Flattened Dreadies

Id say ive got like 15 dreads atleast that are flat, mostly around the back of my head. Theyre sort of puffing up over time a bit, but im not really fussed. Its hair ffs

 

First off, I would do a deep cleanse to get all the wax out. I know I know, it smells like chocolate and companies say to use it, but seriously, it makes dreads kinda suck imo. If you really dig the wax then whatever, but that is my main advice. Also, your dreads are going to do what they want regardless: dreads are rebellious little fuckers, and if you can't deal with that, your in for a long hard road. I would clean really well and then leave. You can try palm rolling to round them, but I do not think it will help, and may lead to dread breakage (such as I had when I first started).

Oh yah, check the stickies for the cleansing recipes:hat:

And post pikkums when your happy with em: I wanna see

 

wow another new member who's been flamed for "lack of knowledge"

Well done, way to alienate the forum

 

The thing is: you can mess with them as much as you want. They might look uber neat and rolled nice and whatever for a little while, but then, you see, there is the matter of sleep. There is still this one time of day when nature will take over and you will toss and turn and mess em up. If it's worth it, then you can get up and maintenence them like mad, but really, it will take your dreads longer to knot.

Either way they'll look kickass, but again, if you're the "creating concoctions at home" type, the deep cleanse will be your best bud
