Gap between hair

General Questions

Hi! I’m not an expert, but I watched several videos showing people using this method and all of them had such gaps so I guess it’s something typical. I’m pretty sure that if you stop using sponge these gaps will disappear. Good luck and happy dreading

Yeah, I miss them sometimes
But at least there is always some new hair growing, so I still have some loops from time to time)

Hello, friends! First of all I would like to thank SE and all the members of this site for creating such a wonderful community and being so helpful I’m really happy I stumbled across this site 5 years ago and learned that you don’t have to make dreads, you can just let them grow. The very day I found that out I threw away my comb and have been happy with my hair ever since  

So I think I owe you guys a timeline. It took quite  some time for my hair to dread, but I enjoyed the journey anyway and I wouldn’t change anything about it if I could.

5 months and the coolest baby dread I've ever had

10 months

My dreads marked their first anniversary by making a nest on my head. It might sound strange, but sometimes I miss that crazy and funny stage.

1 year 2 months

1 year 7 months

1 year 9 months. This is when they started resembling mature dreadlocks, I was really excited.

2 years and some of my favourite dreads at that time

2.5 years

3 years. I still had (and, well, still have) some undreaded hair but I didn't mind waiting - it's really cool to see how your straight hair becomes dreadlocks on its own, as if it was alive. 

4 years. I cut them a bit shorter because.. well, I don't know why. I just did it. But it gave me a chance to make sure they were absolutely clean inside, which made me quite satisfied

And here we are at almost 5 years. I'm really happy with them and I can't even tell you how glad I am that I found this site before asking someone to crochet them for me - I used to think that was the only way to get dreads.
Thanks again for spreading the truth and sorry for mistakes, if any

Need urgent help about shampoo

I'm not sure if you have these in your country but maybe you could try using soapnuts? I haven't tried them myself but I've heard they're pretty good and they're not that expensive (at least in my country)
