wax was bad but if u got it out your ok twist n rip to not be braidlike yuou must randomize alot  when u twist twist only every sio often like every 10-125 pulls each split and pull should be in a random location  like not 1/2 and 1.2  sometimes only a few hairs on 1 side 99% the other then 309-60 etc the more random the better but if it is lil braidlike it wont matter in a while they rearange intio dreads

so i might have messed up a little, i started my dreads with wax, did a little thinking washed it out, but i used creamrinse and then restarted, im doing the neglect method as well as a little bit of backcombing but it seems that when i do the twist and pull it kinda turns into a braid, idk im kinda lost. anyone wanna give me advice?

Ok guys. I'm guilty of doing some interlocking, but, I don't do it tight. It drives me nuts when the hair grows from the scalp too long and the dreads don't lay right. My hair is naturally curly/wavy so the new growth causes my dreads to stick out and get crazy. I need to look somewhat presentable while I'm growing my dreads.

ive tried the natural approach...it doesnt work for me :( it seems as tho the backcomb is just like teasing my hair, which is not the look im going for.. any suggestions :)  id like to see what it looks like with the twist and rip.. not sure exactly how that method is done?? THanks :)

dread gurus Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on May 4, 2011 at 8:21pm

dread gurus Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on February 26, 2011 at 7:24pm

wools better and loose isnt too bad u should leave the dreads to hang loose as much as u can tho

I apparently need to practice this method lol... I have been idly playing with my hair a bit this evening, thinking of doing a practice dread or two and leaving it, and having trouble getting it to dread up. it is very silky and soft at the moment which doesn't help. but i think i must be doing something wrong.

jenifer glad ya gave up the crochet you'll be happy with the new set

dread gurus Comment by ☮ soaring eagle ॐ on February 24, 2011 at 6:28pm

 

backcomb falls apart thats just why we recomend twist and rip instead but just leave it aklone it will dread its normal to fall apart b4 it dreads

Comment by Julia Burkhard on February 24, 2011 at 6:07pm

I have just had my hair backcombed into dreads, and now it's falling apart. Am i doing it wrong? It is just very fuzzy and not sticking together :(

herbalists Comment by Jennifer Rose on February 23, 2011 at 4:28pm

that sounds good to me. I ended up taking out my last dreads in october, they were 6 months old. I (obviously) didn't wax them or anything, but I did do some crochet at the start, and even though I think they had started to recover, they just never got soft - always felt really scratchy and like steel wool. Ugh. there was also alot of broken hair in there which I attribute to the crochet use. So - no more of that for me. Ya live & ya learn! I also had postpartum hair loss and the tiny short hairs growing back in were driving me nuts, so I figured I'd grow those with the rest of my hair so they will dread in and not have *so* many flyaways lol. In theory anyway - I know some frizz and loose hairs is normal and when it comes down to it the dreads will do what they want anyway. I am looking forward to a fresh start very soon.
