My dreads are a year and almost 3 months now and I'm really starting to see a lot more loose hairs then I used to have. Is this common for 1 year dreads? They look messier and I am just curious when will the loose hairs start to dread and when will my hair look more like dreadlocks and not a big ball of mess? Also what could I do to make them look nicer?Thanks :)See More

Accepting my dreads for who they are
Posted on July 26, 2011 at 4:30am 5 Comments 7 Likes
For four months of my dreading process I wore synthetic dreadlocks in my hair to make my hair appear longer instead of doing the right thing; what I should've done from the start... accept my short dreads for what they were. I feel as if by wearing those synthetic dreadlocks I've missed out on the growth of my…

Storm said… Hmm mk. 2 of the pillows I sleep with are silk and the rest are regular. I try to leave my hair down when I sleep cuz I have it up during the day and I'm really trying to keep them from congoing like last time from me having them constantly pulled up in a pony. :P But I'll try it. I'm thinking I might just hemp-wrap the ones in the back becaause that seemed to help the ones I had at the bottom row when I first started them.

The last set I tried was t&r but they looked funny like weird braids and the ends wouldn't stay.

Oh cool. I just started mine the other day with backcombing. I haven't done the top layer of my hair yet though. parting is the hardest part lol
