Hello all :)
Hi everyone. I thought I'd introduce myself before I start asking questions :)
My name is Kezz, Im 45 next month and mum to 2 boys. one in his early twenties the other is only 8. I've been toying with the idea of dreading my hair for a few years but have finally made the decision to jump in and start the journey...my partner died of cancer at the age of 50 last July and I think it made me realise that this is truly not a rehearsal and the more experiences you have in life the better. Im in the process of organising a dread party with a handful of very close friends although I am going to pay a hairdresser to do the sectioning. So pleased I found this site. I have a few questions :D

welcome im sorry to hear about yp0ur loss
but why would you pay a hairdresser to section it? it will section itself better then they can ever do
just stop combing wash a couple times and see for yourself it will section itself perfectly naturally
and how are u olanning on dreading at the dreading party

I want to keep them a bit tidy so am going for the backcombing method...no wax.I want them sectioned off neatly just incase I ever have to get a different job from the one Im in now...I have to pay my mortgage :) I dont want super tidy dreads though! I did wonder about the twist and rip method but read that you end up losing more length?

no twist n rips a much better method and it wont stick straight up looking like a clow3n
length loss is more related to hair length and type then method in most cases

because its 50-60-100 dollars to do something a trained monkey could do?

The hairdresser is a friend so it will be a barter/trade transaction and wont cost me a penny :)

ah well thats diferent then :)
i was just making the point that sectioning the easiest thing to do so wasnt worth wastng money on

Hello Kezz,
I am also sorry to read of yours and your families loss. I have known 4 people who have passed in this previous year to cancer and 2 more recently diagnosed. It's very hard and very eye-opening.
In regards to your start to your dread journey, I used twist and rip and I haven't lost any length (my hair is naturally thick and wavy.) But it will loosen up after a while and tend to tighten up again. For instance, mine got pretty loose at the roots after a couple of days but now, 2 weeks in, some of the loosened roots are reforming. :)
I have also used backcombing in the past and it did the same exact thing.

I spent a fair while on here yesterday looking at time lines and
must admit I am totally freaked out by the shrinkage problems. I can cope with different stages of the hair until it dreads but the shrinkage!! I have hair to just bellow my shoulder blades and would be ok with it being shoulder length but I've seen pics of hair that has gone chin length, maybe I should grow my hair longer first?

the longer it is to start the more it shrinks if u start at shoulderblades it will shrink to shoulders if us start at knees it can shrink to chin
