im not saying backcombing isnt somewhat "natural" but my def. of natural is doing neglect (no combing) and NO wax... but i have done clockwise rubbing to help along the way...i just let them grow how they wanna......KNOTTY
I disagree as well..mine are only babies at 9 mos old, but very well formed. I have never used any sort of locking accelerator, wax, nothing. I did not backcomb or twist and rip. I just left my hair alone, wore an occasional scarf, and seperated a few. Six months: Nine Months:
wow, those are amazing for 6 and 9 months respectively! What kind of soap did you use, mine seem to be getting softer and softer at the 6 month mark
I use Dr Bronners Peppermint soap. I live by the ocean and swam quite a bit this past summer...the saltwater helped tons with the tightning, I believe. My locks are still changing so much! I think the shrinking is finally slowing down..some of them are way tighter than others..loops everywhere too! I just love natural dreads!
^^ wow u do take a lot of pictures, but its cool, cuz we get to see how they are comin along. i didnt do the neglect method, i just dont have that kind of patience, adn if i did do that method... i would prob just get fed up and comb my hair haha. but i give u guys a lot of props for doin it this way. CRE those locks look awesome. everyones do. peace~
haha well if yall dont like the pics...im sry, just dont open the thread...but anyways....heres a pic spread the love
Damnit mike!! From what we've been talking you've only been dreading for about 2 weeks more than me and my head looks fucking nothing like that!!!!! WAHT THE FUCK!?!? I think it might be becuase you tried to back comb first or something!? Well wahtever the fuck it is I need to fuckin try it!!
i have only 1 dread that's backcombed...the rest are nappy naturals...since like halloween time(maybe a week prior)
mabey we should change the thred name to Pictures of MikeJH3 ...not trying to be rude, i love the pictures. but you could post them on your own thred, you may get more veiws on them too.. plus if you keep posting pictures after a while you will have a nice time line going on that every one could look back on
