so is it gonna be possible to unseperate these fatties? particularly the front left side i showed you and the beaver tail thing i got going in the back?
btw how exactly do i go about "seperating" them, what is the best way to do this? how long do i mess with them for?
so yeah
been growing for dreads for over a year now
started using dr bronner's a while back and it has worked
anyway, i was over a friend's house the other day and she said i need to start twisting them so they don't all turn into one giant dread
so she started helping me with it when she noticed my dreads have started doing that in some places
on the front left side i have what looks like about 5 dreads growing into one
and in the back she says it looks like i am starting to grow a beaver tail... which i do NOT want!
is there anything i can do? she suggested cutting them to separate them... but what else are my options?
i can take pictures if it helps!
haven't been able to find wool
have been doing some sea salt recently
my hair is a little past my shoulders
so i have been trying to grow dreads doing the neglect method for a year now... did the baking soda/acv was, switched the dr bronner's
i realize with neglect method it may take a long time, my hair isn't exactly dreads yet, but i do thing it is trying to
someone recently said to me that i have thin hair, and he thinks it will be impossible for me to grow dreads... could he be right?
he also asked me if i have a history of baldness in my family, which i do, on both sides of the family
i have an older brother whose hair has started to fade
my mom said if i was going to go bald it would have started already though (i am 22) so hopefully i get lucky, but obviously it's a concern for me
is my hair a lost cause? do i have to try another method, like backcombing?
i have tried TnRing but i can't get he hang of it... it also never stays together when i've tried it, maybe i am not doing it right
none of my friends know anything about making dreads so i can't ask them
i live in the philly, pa / trenton, nj area in case anyone is willing to help me out at all
thanks for any advice, help & knowledge!
going to florida for 2 weeks to visit a friend... we will definitely be hitting the beach up a lot which i know is supposed to be good for your dreads
but we may go in the pool sometimes too... what should i do about that? does chlorine have a bad effect?
my hair isn't even really dreads yet, i've just been doing the neglect thing for about a year now
thanks
i wanna get a wool tam but i'm not sure what to get?
i guess i have to go online... i've seen some threads on here... i've seen people mention etsy a lot
i just don't know anything about buying a wool tam so i wanna know i'm making the right decision so what do i need to know?
want dreads, but have no money? GO BUY A BUNCH OF THIS! lol
good thread though, just thought it was funny.
