Update On My Hair *pics* Questions

I started my dreads sept 27 its been about 22 days i think idk. But some are doing good some are not. There still pretty loose but tight at the same time. I have ton of undreaded hair at the root. I honestly dont see how there going to dread up in some places they seem so loose.

just tell me what you think and if this is good for 22 days. And have any of you had similar problems.

Heres my pics. there not as good as they look.

This guy is doing somthing weird at the root. Starting to form a loop with lots of other things???

problem child its knotted at the root but so loose torwards middle an wants to break in hafe and its knotted at the tip an wont break in hafe.??!?!?!

this ones gonna lock up curly i beleive

 

they look great.

 

They look pretty good to me

 

they super for 22 days. the non tighty one will tighten, just give them more time. i didnt believe in the dreads tightening up at the roots think, cuz my hair just grew straight but if you mess around with the roots, they will lock up nice.

 

god u guys are quick

 

you said it yourself yesterday...

 

mess around as in ????

 

yes ino it will but some places dont seem to knot up very well. Some knot up good but some of mine just really dont do much at all.

 

Well, they are still young. So give them time and they'll knot up real good. Mine are about a week behind yours, and they have some loose spots, and some that are really knotty too. I kind of twirl the loose hairs and loose-ish bits around my finger to catch it all into one dread, and sometimes put a bead on that to keep it together to encourage knots.

 

it's only 22 days. it will take months more for some of them to start doing much of anything at all. but they will. just have patience. they're looking fine.

and the one that "wants to break in half" isn't gonna break in half, it's just working itself into a dread. leave it be and it'll be just fine.

 

well I forgot to mention i didnt really backcomb tight. uno i just wanted to speed up the process a little so i backcombed a bit but it wasnt super tight

 

which will help them tremendously. i think i backcombed mine too tight, it took them a while to start locking up because they weren't moving a lot.

yours look great. they'll be tight in no time.

 

i never knew there was a backcomb to tight i kinda thought thats what u suppose to do.. hhehe

 

did you backcomb with no wax? if you did then when you backcombed did you just palm roll them to get the form ?

 

i loosley backcombed no wax. i palmrolled in the beggining a lil but i dont really mess with them now.

 

the day after i finished getting rid of mine



they look really good! i also had one that was dreaded and then halfway down split into two,, i got some thread and stitched it to hold it together to try and make it combine but i dont think it worked really (i dont have any beads)

but yeah, they look really good. keep doing whatever youre doin,, defo play with them at the roots and ends maybe (roll em between thumb & finger) it might help them lock/tangle a bit =]

 

ahhh dang. why did u get rid???? of of them

 

Hey Critik, your dreads look fantastic for being less than a month. Pretty soon they might get FUNKY as hell, like the one with the loop at the root.

 

wha do you meen by funky
