Youll be just fine. Love those locks!

I will thank you .. & progress is always good... :D

pics are in my picture album, one of 8 days and one of yesterday.. it's much looser today though as I just washed..

I'm using B/S wash which I fill a pitcher & then a 1/2 cap of ACV diluted with 2 drops tea trea oil in a bottle the size of a powerade bottle shaked up then I rinse that out.. Every 4 days...

I'm waiting on Vicki's lock shampoo & also getting a bar from her and the gel but wont use the bar for a while probably...

ok, thanks SE... just looking at the pic of my 8 day & then my yesterday there is a ton of difference it doesn't even look like the same persons hair.. lol... I just don't know where ALL the loosy is coming from!!! Eeepers...

I don't mind it so much.. I don't love it but i'm not too upset...it it's just that now i've decided to keep my backcombed efforts I don't want to find out 6 months down the line that I should have scraped them at week 3 if this much loose hair was already running amok lol.... Did you backcomb first Cayla?

I did read Nathanial's thread a few down but his hair is much different to mine.. mine's fairly thin and fairly straight with bizarre kinks in random places...

I've decided I like my backcombed starter dreads enough that I don't want to comb them out BUT right now I seem to have them still but tons and tons of loose hair around them, & coming out of them, not handfuls but almost!!... (it's not falling out literally & if I pull on them they are attached) Is this a normal stage for Caucasian hair with mines description. I never crocheted or waxed i'm coming up to week 3... Is this a good thing? Or is this all just part of the set back of 6 months having backcombed them & I'll be lucky to recover if ever???

There is a picture in my pictures from yesterday but today seems much worse....

I just looked through your journey... you should too... you got so far!!!! If you don't love them though is it a phase or if you look back through your pic journey do you think oh yes I remember not feeling the love all through... you know? You did some pretty nice things with them like the braid & that and another one where they were all pinned in.. that would look super nice for a wedding... xxx

I think so, I counted about 13 in the back officially so the rest are on the sides... my favourite one is the one on the left side of the nape of my neck... I named it Cashew because it's Cashew shaped & it feels so amazing.. I love it... lol
