I am now half way through my 4th month of dreading. I've seen more progress in my dreads over the past 3 weeks than the whole of the 4 months.

I've started noticing some matting as well as knots and it's got me really excited.

I'll post some pics when I can get some, or just upload to YouTube.

I've got some weird ass congos going, mainly because I can't be bothered to separate. One of the main reasons I started was so I didn't have to do ANYTHING to my hair. Some of these congos are gunna be phat with a capitol PH! There are now loads of loops, kinks and so on.

When I had them backcombed in the tips were too fine to backcomb, so they were left. The tips are now dreadding quicker than the main body. Although I'm not without problems. The roots just don't like it! The sections are now flat straight lines instead of the nice square sections from when it was backcombed. But I don't think it's really noticable, so it doesn't really matter!

I did have a friend of mine telling me that dreads don't work without wax, I soon put him in his place by telling him that there are many methods to dreadding and wax just sux! "But it'll get rid of the loose hairs." why do people without dreads think they know more about dreads than people with them? Thats like me telling a fish monger that he should fillet with a spoon and not a knife, that way it's round!

Thats about all for now.

Adios!
