Good luck on your journey, just understand that it takes time. Dreads can change you in ways you didn't think we possible (for the better of course
Hope ya stick with it
Hello Everyone!

It is common for them to unravel a bit if not all way and start to dread in their own way. Dont worry about redoing any if it comes undone, it will just dread up on its own. Sounds like your off to a great start, I know its hard but try not to play with them too much. The best thing to do is just keep em clean and seperate, and otherwise forget you have anything up there

Pics will be on this evening hopefully.
If my dreads are loosening/unravelling a bit should I just leave them or should I twist & rip again?

I agree and if you continue the natural route then they are lookin good for it
soaringeagle said: looks like your mostly goin natural so add some beads to help define sections and reduce ripping and let em do what thewy want
What a strange trip it has been...
Life Issues Facing Dreads
to 2nd : havent you ever seen how fucked up white people are?here here!Whenever I am at a party and a random person is looking to smoke with someone, I will be standing talking to people and they ask someone I am with if they want to smoke, and they almost always turn to me and say something like "I know you do", which is perfect because I usually do lol.
life partner doesnt find dreads attractive

Should Dandruff build up so quickly?
Dreads Hair and Scalp Health
I had pretty much the same issue before I started dreading. If I didn't wash at least every other day with head and shoulders I would have wicked dandruff and itchy scalp. It would always start with the itch and then turn into dandruff which I assume is due to me scratching so much. I've been playing with my dilution and amounts of oils I use with the bs wash and so far for me rosemary has almost cured me. I still find I need to wash every 2-3 days but after upped the amount of rosemary it took my itchies away after a few washes. I find that if I go more than 2-3 days between washes that the itches the dandruff and the scabs from itching come right back. So in these instances I wash two days in a row and try too get back into my washing schedule. Its hard to stay to a particular schedule when your forgetting you have hair
