Hey Y'all,

so I was just wondering if it was natural for the back of your head to dread up quicker than the sides and front. because the back of my head has a lot of baby dreads and it makes the back look very short and the front and sides long. is there anything i can do to speed up the front and sides or is it better to just wait it out?

THANKS

Hello there ! I'm new to all this, just made my account today ....here we go (:
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice !
I've had my dreads for 4 months.. started them myself with rip & tear ...
my roots are growing out and some dreads are splitting at the root.
I'm aware that its just naturally sectioning itself...I'm trying to avoid the crochet hook.
but what can I do to prevent them from splitting ?

so creating this blog for dready artsy mommas and whomever wishes to make some art haha

have fun!!

As I've stated before, I had the under half of my hair TnRed and the top I left to go natural. My question/concern is (and it may be me just being paranoid but) where the natural hair meets the TnRs it seems to be matting flat down. I don't want my natural part to dread into the roots of my TnRs if that's even a possibility. The first picture shown has my natural hair pulled forward so you can see the matting/roots. The second picture is with it all down. I'm at a month and 2 weeks tomorrow.

Craziness lately. My mother is in the hospital with end stage liver disease. It's my intention to donate a part of my liver to save her life. I'm not worried about the surgery, or the long recovery time, or the huge scar I will have. But it seems like the entire universe is against me. It will be a fairly long trip to her hospital in CT, especially with my 1 year old in the back seat. Since my husband has to work ill need to get a rental car. I can't get a rental car until I pay an outstanding ticket I got a while back. I called the court to pay the fine and guess what?! The woman won't be there until tomorrow. Yet another day I have to wait. Then I will just have to hope that the payment goes through so that I can get my rental car the next day. The stress of it all makes me want to pull my hair out!!! Aaaaaah, my hair. It's been 4...5? days since I got rid of my brush and went full neglect. It's messy, and wild, and I love it. It's beautiful chaos amongst the ugly chaos of my life. I love that it is one less thing that I have to worry about. I'm so thankful for this site introducing me to this all natural way. It really is my peace of mind and I'm grateful that it showed up when it did. <3

I don't want to detract from the site's donation campaign - if you're not already aware, soaring eagle is in need of funds to make sure we beat the competition and stay strong as a community.That said, I have a campaign of my own - please consider helping fund Jack's eye surgery, which is booked for Monday morning. Thank you for any help you can provide! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jack-s-eye-surgery

Hair has started to dread on its own, YIPPEEEEE! But I look like a big red headed dandelion!

Tomorrow is my youngest daughters college grad party, she's 26 & hopes to rehab primates someday.

Anyway the fam has no idea I've decided to rock dreads so should be fun when I see them shake their heads, most of them are very straight laced Christians & their road is the only road to travel. Honestly I find it very odd that I'm related to them.

I'm going to rock my baby dreads & frizzies, 8-((( , by wearing a beautiful scarf as a head band.

Peace, love & blessings.

I've had dreadlocks before. I ripped and twisted my way to a head of thin and fuzzy dreads and took them out a few weeks later. Then I tried braiding in synthetic dreadlocks I got online but they left me feeling fake and like my head was a million pounds too heavy, so they only lasted a week. Now, I start my journey. The other times didn't even feel real to me. I'm going all natural/neglect, and already enjoying it. (I'm only one day in tho O.o). I finally feel like I have chosen the right path for myself. If anyone have any tips or encouragement, it is more then welcome. And if you can answer this question for me, I will be forever in your debt... Well in your debt for at least a month. :X. I want to make homemade beads. Since my hair has not dreaded yet can I still put beads in? Will it help the sectioning process? Will it slow down the dread process? I already have some nots forming in the back where I sleep, can I put beads on them to keep them from becoming one huge knot? I just want to put pretty beads in my hair, is that so much to ask?!

This is just a nice place to have a look at, I don't believe in crocheting at all or having dreads 'done' instantly, I just thought the place they have and their style was really natural.

The fact that they both love dreads just made it all the more interesting for me and anything to do with dreads always gets my attention. Please understand that i'm so not into instant dreads done with the crochet method, but do like seeing people that have not got dreads decide to have them, I love the before and after pics.
