hey
i'm about one month in an stoked with the progress! every morning is like xmas rushing to the mirror to see how they're changing. didn't use rubber bands though? just counted em yesterday and i got about 80 in a mohawk! theyre pretty thin but i figured i could always just let em congo later on.. i've been using a weak salt water spray and leaving it in, working AWESOME. though its supposed to be harsh on the scalp if left in i haven't had any trouble so far will report if i do. peace:)

hi! thinking dreadhawk??

ooh one more thing, any preferences for best hat to wear? gotta look as clean and fake as humanly possible for work so if i can keep em under wraps till they tighten up without hurting them that'd be awesome

hi everyone, glad i found this site
my names sam and ive been contemplating dreads for a while now. i havent used shampoo in my hair for over 12 months though ive been just using conditioner when it feels dirty so im well and truly past the oily stage from not washing. and i rinsed my hair the other day in salt water just to see what would happen and it was almost instant dreads (my hair is about 6-7 inches long, brown, curly and thick) i did cut it in a mohawk about 3 months ago but its grown out now and looks pretty goofy so im getin the sides shaved tomorrow to regain the hawk and then im thinkin about dreadin whats left. i was thinking of trying to section it a bit to avoid the part straight down the middle of my head (from an undercut that was worn from age 10-13 :P) but otherwise i wanted to go natural. also any oppinions/experience with twist an rip? im stuck wearin a beanie with the back of my hawk hangin out the bottom so it looks like i have a mullet so the sooner i can get dreadin the better i reckon
cheers guys

Why not to wear hats when natural dreading - my year and a half journy and the effect the hat had.

man, i'm going through this EXACT same thing. i dunno i've worn some kind of head covering pretty much every day for the last 7 years and i'm having a real hard time trying to convince myself to stop. tappin into some deep self esteem issues here, wish it wasn't such a big deal but it just is for some reason. weird, i know.

Absafreakinlutely!! My dreads aren't anywhere near being mature yet, still kind of a fuzzy curly mohawky mullety mess. But I just went to a festival last week and it was hilarious how much attention I got, and from women who wouldn't look twice at me the year before when I was clean shaven with short hair. I think it's more to do with the fact that i'm in a relationship with a beautiful woman who I adore (and who also wasn't there) than my hair though, women seem to be able to smell that confidence from a mile away. It was also funny that I seemed to get constant compliments from women, and constant ridicule from men - especially one friend who tried and failed with wax dreadlocks a few years ago :p
