    SO! :2thumbsup:
    As some of you know I had baby dreads for a short period of time and then got rid of them. Afterwards (after experiencing vibrant pink hair, a hair cut and back to natural colour) I realised that I made a huge mistake. My hair was already cut short but I missed my dreads. I came to this conclusion that this will be a good lesson for me. Now that i've learned how important they actually are to me I won't be attempting to comb them out or shave my head.

    I'm really enjoying how crazy they are so far. My brother tells me I have crazy cat lady hair and my cousins compared to edward scissor hands. I have more patience then ever and i'm ready to try again.

    So in the middle of September I decided to section my hair and backcomb.
    I don't backcomb all the time, instead I mostly just let them do their own thing. No wax just love! So far this is how they look.

    I'll be updating at the end of every month!
    All tips welcome!

    just to clarify... the highest number of times any set should EVER have been backcombed is once....

    if you wrap your pillow in a whool sweater your dreads will look more presentable in the mornings, plus it will help with the dreading :D
