dreadlocks started since dreadlocks site started
Dreadlock Picture Gallery
before i joined the site in november of 2009 i went to a salon and got fake twist "locks" with hairspray and bullshit -_- (i have pics in my profile) anyways, huge mistake. i found this site and i started my dreads exactly one year ago. only about 3-4 of them have stuck through since then (since i tried the backcomb method) but the rest fell out. so after being lazy for a few months i decided to twist & rip them in march 2010 and now have a set of nicely maturing natural locks. i got 100% of my dreadlock information from this site. i don't regret any of the fun, yet sometimes tough, journey and i'm proud to be apart of this site and have healthy, non-waxy/non-product dreads. it's so awesome to watch them grow and do things like congo together and get all these wild loops and bumps. it's just crazy how it's already been a year. congrats SE and dreadlockssite.

Dread tips: Roll or let 'em go?
Dread Maintenance
well when i first joined the site last november i read up and got all my info including the whole no rubberbands thing. but then when i tried my first attempt at t&r in december without rubberbands they only stayed in until the first wash which was 2 weeks later. i then decided it wasn't a big deal and left them alone to start naturally but that didn't work either. so in march i t&r'ed again but this time i left most with tips and some without just to see. the ones without completely unraveled and to this day are just regular hair and haven't dreaded at all even though it's been 7+ months. the others with the rubberbands have stayed dreaded and as they start to fall out, do not come unraveled. so they worked for me and didnt damage anything, i guess it's just my hair type.
Dread tips: Roll or let 'em go?
Dread Maintenance
a couple of mine have completely unraveled even though they're 7 months old, that's why i still have rubberbands on most of my tips. some of them unravel to a certain point and then they stopped. idk why this is but it's frustrating. hopefully once all the rubberbands come off they'll stay locked. so my suggestion is to not roll some of them and see if they'll stay locked, but if not your best bet would be to just put some rubberbands on the tips for a while or roll em.
I just keep saying it's the journey; not the destination.
