Natural/Neglect Dreadlocks have cycles.

In the beginning there was hair! (Or not. Some start from bald)

I'm not hear to talk about those first few years though.

I'm sure you can find a ton of those.

So...you really don't need to do anything to "get dreads."

like really....

Keep your hair clean

separate when needed

So....you do that...and you magically get dreads!

well...it's magical because at some point you forget that you were waiting so patiently

and poof...you look in the mirror and you have mature dreads!

We all wish anyway.

Here's mine right now

I have loose hair that never has actually wanted to dread in....

But....there has been a little bit more in there currently

and that hair on top is starting to separate into sections!

now...

Look at what's hiding inside!

LOOPS!

And!

the picture is blurry....but those are babies in there!

Little...tangled...knappy...working on their knots...

BABIES!

That's cool cause...there are the actual mature dread locks already there....

I love this journey.

It really never stops once you commit!

so.,,,,all you impatient dreads....

what are you going to do when your hair is ready to go around again?

Sorry...I just had to throw that out there.

Blessings!
