This one is my most interesting one, although its been evening out recently. Its pretty flat, but you can't tell with pictures. My daughter wanted to be included... She likes to come up and pick up my dreads and say "ohhh! Crazy!" =]
And this one is my only one started by backcomb(the rest are tnr)... It was loose and straight for the longest time! It has come back with a vengeance!

Don't worry, they will start locing up in time. Just leave them alone, don't comb your hair, & your hair will start knotting and that's when dreads will start forming.
As long as you wash your hair and be patient, you will be fine.
Happy dreading 
Hey there! Wraps are beautiful. There is also nothing wrong with it looking "disastrous" & loopy. All depends on your liking.
You don't always have to unwrap your hair before washing; you can definitely leave em in. I used to do this all the time. I eventually took em off to wash the hair a bit better. You can do whichever you want really.
It's best to allow your hair to air dry, so it doesn't get damaged by the heat from the blow dryer. Make sure your hair is completely dry (allow 24 hrs) before rewashing.
~ Much Love to you!
Thank you! Some of my dreads are really flat, but I think they will round up later, right?
Greetings beautiful people!
I find this web to be the perfect opportunity to share my dread journey with anyone who is interested. I'm also doing this mainly for myself; to be able to look back and notice the big changes in my dreads & myself alike.
Let's gooo.
I've always been fascinated with dreads - they are unique and I see them as sacred and rebellious... Rebellion, that was just one of the reasons why I was drawn to dreadlocks, yet this is the very reason why I was also indecisive about this commitment.
I didn't concern myself with the rest of society, in fact I wanted to rebel! However, mostly my family & their acceptance is the issue here.. Blah blah, it doesn't matter. It's just hair; I love dreads.

I began my journey sometime in Jan-Feb (something like that). I initially began with about 5 dreads using the backcomb method, they were supposed to be "temporary" until I decided for sure I was going to do this. (I recommend this actually for those that are unsure). Of course weeks passed and I still had my dreads. I actually even kept adding more of them in.
I also want to add that THANKS to this website, I have chosen the neglect method in continuing my dreading process. This is way better, I get lazy anyway.
One of the first pics I found of when I just started dreading. Look at my silky hair. Who knew it would become this naughty;
I look super white here. It's the cam. Shh.

This one on the bottom is my favorite dread!! It's silly how I wrapped it. I tried to get rid of the crazy shape.
How could I do such a thing?! ;o Well all of my wraps are out at the moment (except the one my friend did for me).

This picture is just a few weeks into my dreading process (Sorry, this isn't rly in order). I love relaxing and just decorating my dreads. I'm pretty sure the beads & wrappings had an immense effect on the dreading process.

It's a heart! I noticed this when I was at Electric Forest a few weeks ago. 6/28/13
Much (dready) Love to you!!

One of my favorite was the thunderbolt dread on the left. At one point it was wayy zig-zaggier than this. So awesome ~ Priceless! (This was about 3 months ago)

Fast forward to the ~exciting~ loops . . . will ya?!
This picture I just took yesterday ~ 7/17/13
I have been doing the neglect method for probably half of my journey now (so roughly about 3 months). I have allowed the back of my hair to completely form on its own, as well as other parts of my hair that have not been dreaded. I really do prefer the neglect method.
I love the crazy loops, & abnormal shapes of my dreads. They are so lively!!
Even though my hair is crazy, I can still keep it under control! Which is a bonus.
