Starting My Dreads today!

I like how kinky they are

 

me too. That is just because I was keeping them in these little buns to keep them out of the way. I would <3 if they just stayed that way! haha.

 

Mine are like that just from having curly hair....In some places it is because they are looser, but some of my tightest are the most squiggly....

Maybe I will stay like that!

 

good luck on your dreadlock journey. it's a fun one to take,i've had dreads for 2 years gonna be 3 years in november.

 

My hair is ultra fine and straight, and its dreaded just fine

 

cute pics. to whoever was thinking about perming before locking, think about how different the new growth would look.

 

here is with the whole thing back combed and twisted into a tiny bun and then taken down (no palm rolling or anything)



I then took a crochet hook to it to pull the look hairs in and tighten it a bit. Please dont flame me. Hahha.
This is day 2. Right after I woke up this morning.

 

Gorgeous

 

cute, but be careful about tying them into knots when they are so young, it may hinder the locking.

 

Yea, I havent touched them since, but to wash them. So I am letting them go on their own from here on out. Here is from today:







I have heard that aloe is a good way to deal with the stray hairs. Is this a widely accepted consensus?

 

yay but dont overdo it,

 

aloe is fine to use. It made my dreads look a bit flat and lame though, but I piled it on so uhhuh idk. they look good to mee

 

Kewl thread. I like your pics. Keep us posted

 

no one has finer hair than me... and mine are locking up fine...

 

Couple updates. Not much has happened in 2 weeks, except I touched up the black.
These were taken before I dyed them yesterday.

 

awesome hair! they look great

 

Hotness

 

very pretty!! they are going to be amazing on you.

weird but with your coloring and specs and labret.. you look like chaos. am I the only one who sees it??

 

I thought that too, Zilla.

 

*not a bad thing!*

also b_sarcasm. I used a crochet hook on one of my dreads to see what the fuss was about and the results were nice at first but ultimately I don't like how that dread looks compared to the others. I think crocheting is for people who are willing to crochet frequently to "maintain" and who don't like loose hairs/want a uniform look. which I have realized I am not into.. but of course it's all up to you and how much control you want over your lockz
