I'm gonna have to cut...

No they're gonna be extending other dreads! Well once I've got them attached I might pick open the ends a bit further. Already investigated them several times and...no wax Imagine that!

 

Well well well, who'd have thought it?

Sorry about that I was being an idiot, refer to my edit comment in my previous post

 

pikchurs when your done! I wansee the side cut and how the extended dreads look%___%

 

Wow! I can't wait to see the after tat and extension pics.

 

Wow I feel a lot more comfortable with that row of dreads gone.. I think I might do this on the other side too. You can hardly tell when my hair is down, and when it's up it doesn't look as harsh as I feared it could. Cool Plus...free extensions! I've had kinda weird feelings about dread extensions coz it seems like cheating and just feels wrong to me. But with my own hair just extending itself, it feels ok

 

Amy, you have the most magnetic eyes. Good luck wit the dreadstentions. And the headtoo.

 

Well, 8 dreads are gone. Can't really see any difference when my hair is down... which is maybe a good thing coz I'm sure I'll sometimes wonder what the fuck I just did haha.
I'll shave the hair properly off later tonight before I shower, to get it all to one length. It's a bit patchy and diseased-looking at the moment due to poor scissor maneouver...manoeuv...ma... hang on...*dictionary.com* manoeuvers! Wow, that's why people only say that word lol don't think I've seen it written or had to write it before haha. That must be how all you guys feel about their/they're...

 

that shit will hurt and your brain will vibrate to the tune of the gun. but, an awesome idea.

 

Yeh I know...meh. "No pain no gain" is gonna take on a whole new meaning for me I think hehe.

 

I used to think the phrase was 'No Pain No Game'
and it never made sense to me...

 

it makes sense if you think about rugby...or football


anyway hurray for cutting of dreads!!!! not completely

 

cool..

so how do you go about attaching extensions? just crochet them in?

 

Sewing them in with pink cotton lol. Not sure how well it will last...should it be ok? Anyone?

 

I don't think cotton will last as long as you want it to. I think you're supposed to braid the hairs together, like reattaching an arm.

 

I'm not concerned about it holding, more about deterioration. Would silk be better? I only had cotton handy, so have used that for the first 2, but still have 6 to go.

 

silk is def stronger than cotton...

 

Yeh...Well I won't be having monkeys swinging from my dreads or anything like that but I'll wait and get some nice pink silk to sew the others in with. Cool

 

I want to see!

When do you plan on getting the tattoo?

 

Hopefully some time over the next few months. Just gotta design it first. Flicking through my plant books at the moment...

Any input/ideas would be welcome. I think it needs some blue, pink and green in there. Need to get a good balance between bold, pretty and cool.

 

tattoo artists tend to have great reference material. work with your artist.
