Hello! Thought I should introduce myself - I'm Shelby. Seamstress, Milliner, and Hippie-chick living in Oakland, California.
I had dreads 2005-2008. Here are some pictures.
Babies. Back combed/rip & twist - no wax.
I remember thinking 'Huh, they finally sort of look like dreads.". Around 3 months.
A summer of swimming = tight locks, length loss, and funky loops!
You can see where I sewed one of my friend's dreads onto mine. The orange-ish thread on the right.
Lost a lot of length. 10 months.
Thickening up. There are 23 total.
Finally quit shrinking, start gaining some length.
