Everyone says that if you leave your hair alone it will dread....
Dread Maintenance
... and that things like dreadballing are unnecessary because the short hairs will eventually join a dread or just make a baby dread. Well that just doesn't seem to be true for my hair. Well I guess I should say it hasn't been true so far.
I have had dreads for almost 2 years now, I started them by backcombing and my husband accidentally left a small section of hair out. It didn't really bother me so I just left it, assuming eventually it would take care of it self or that I would get sick of it and do something with it. 2 years later it is still there and still as straight as it was 2 years ago. What's the deal?
I also had a lot of postpartum hair loss after I had a baby in October 09. The hair eventually started growing back and now I have a ton of lose hairs all over my head. They have been there for almost a year now. Just getting longer and longer and longer. Most never knot up, or even get close to it. I wash with BS a couple times a week. I don't know if it's just my hair type or if I'm doing something wrong. Why has my experience been so different from what everyone else seems to talk about??? I really hate the straight hair
