Prior to August 14th, I had braids in my hair for about a week, maybe a little bit more. When I took them out, my hair was nappy and I think was what helped jump-start my otherwise straight-for-the-most-part, soft hair towards natural dreads.
August 14th was when I took them out and since then I haven't brushed my hair at all. It's now August 26th, a mere 12 days later, and I checked my hair for knots, and I have 6 baby dreads already, mostly in the back of my head, scattered from my nape to my crown.
Last night, I asked Shiva - my god of understanding - to help my hair knot up, and I can't believe that a day later, I find 4 more baby dreads than I had the day before. Granted, they're thin and small, but they're still there!
For all of those that have just started your dreads, how are they doing?
Is there progress? No progress at all? Is your hair separating into defined sections?
What specific things have you been doing to maintain?
Pictures would be awesome! I love seeing people's progress. I'll post pictures when I get home from work
Peace
