Hi everyone! My dreads are changing so drastically lately, it made me want to make a timeline! I backcombed my dreads in the beginning of January. I haven't palm rolled, used wax, or done anything to them except separate them.
This is me before dreads, my hair was about down to my belly button. It's a silly pic but shows just how long it was!
Here are some pictures of when they were first done, to a couple weeks old.


The next two pictures were when they were 1 month old:

Here they are at 2 months:
At 3 months old:


Month 4, the shrinkage finally starts to happen and boy is it a lot!
And here they are now at almost five months, and have shrunken to my shoulders. If you can't see that, it's because there are a few dreads that have the ends still hanging, but ready to curl up at any moment.
Here they are at six months right now:

I love my dreads:) Thanks for checking out my timeline. Let me know what ya think, much love everyone!

Permalink Reply by Tabitha on June 3, 2012 at 5:04pm Thank you everyone, you guys are too sweet. I use dr bronners lavender, and sometimes avalon organics peppermint shampoo. In the first few months I did use sea salt, and It would probably benefit me if I kept doing it but I don't take much time to do it haha. But it works great to tighten them! Can't wait to see how your baby dreads develop Mike! Congrats on beginning your journey!
