If You Ever Used the Crochet Method
Dreading Methods
used hook: yes
satisfied: for the time, yes... in the long run, no.
for the time (when i started my interlocked and backcombed dreads) they were helpful in keeping the tips from unravelling. it also helped me keep a more organized look for work.
in the long run - i can see which dreads have been damaged from this (thin spots) as well as - i realized it was more work to keep hooking all hairs in - and much easier to leave them to do thier thing.. they eventually grew in to the appropriate lock)
most of my tips are now rounded - which takes forever and a couple days to fully dry.. and yes they are a bit tighter now than i would like as well.
