Went for a nice long walk in the woods this morning, and went off the trail to look at something... Well, i forgot that my hair was down, and in my haste to get up the hill, got a chunk of it caught in a holly tree. The force of my step was so great that there was nothing I could do to stop the tree from ripping out a small section of hair (ouch).
When I went back down the hill, i stopped to see if there was evidence of my error on the tree, but none was to be found... I went home and noticed about 1/4 of a baby lock hanging down from a knot! And here I was questioning the general knottiness of the hairs... But it was such a good knot, I just cut off the excess 12" or so that was hanging down (the part that had ripped from my scalp!), and left the rest in there as a reminder to be more careful next time I go on walkabout 
Every day I feel more and more confident about my hair! and I love that I'm able to do all kind of things with it without using a hair tie!
But on another note... I just found out that you can add music to your profile.. so I uploaded a couple songs..
Check them out 
well i just did my first no conditioner wash, and i have one dread starting to form on my left towards the front, and two thin ones one the right side! This is a great feeling!
HOW MANY LOCS SHOULD MY HEAD HAVE?
I recently counted my locs and found them to be 230.ive been keeping them for 8 months.so is their someone who can help because i don't know Wat to do make them few,or wat could be the required average number of dreads i should keep on my heads.in fact some are very thin and they dont have constant size an i spend lots of time wen twisting them
And then the missing second one. 
And a little closer 
Then in perspective 
Now onto some others that are pretty flat but crazy. Hopefully in time they will round out a bit I mean it has only been 3 months. 
And another bad angle. But you get my jist. 
And now altogether now.
How bout some side views.One side. 
And the other. (Sorry for the lighting on this one) 
And just some to finish my "showing off" 
Thanx for enjoying them with me! It's so nice to have people to show em off too without them still judging.
Out of curiosity, how many dreadlocks to people have? I've only got 26 at the moment, and I still have some hair left arund my face that hasnt formed yet. I'm guessing I'll have less than 40 when all is said and done. I'm wondering how many people have and how thick/sparse they look.
Hey everyone! you all are so amazing and this site is great. i am 2 weeks into my journey and just have a question. i was wondering if it is bad to wet my head everyday. ive never really thought too much about it and just need some input.
Recently people are actually starting to notice I have dreads (3 months of natural/free forming)
Someattentionis negative, but most is positive! Friends that I haven't seen in a while will say things like "Oh your dreads look awesome! I didn't even know you had them!"
But then there are thosedisapprovingpeople who just don't get why someone would choose to dread their hair. They say things like "whats with your hair?" or "Did you get in a fight with a rat?"
Thus far I've just shrugged off the negative comments and continued to love my locs all the same.
I don't know if you can really tell from the picture, but I've got lots of loops in my dreads, and I love the way it looks right now!
Up until a few days ago I had twoseparatecongos that were pretty huge and uncomfortable... One was two huge dreads into one, and the other was two huge dreads and one small dread combined into one.. Both were in the back of my head.
So I set to work on the congos and eventually I was able toseparatethem.. Although the one that had a small dread added into it I didn't bother.. its pretty well embedded into another dread.
Now that I don't have to worry about those congos I've fallen in love with my dreads all over again. I was getting pretty annoyed that I couldn't do anything with my hair without those getting in the way.. But now that they areseparatedI can do lots of stuff with it and its not uncomfortable.
There are two things that I really want for my dreads!
One is a shower cap.. I've been using a plastic grocery sac and tying it on my head to avoid washing my dreads every time I shower.
And the other is some sort of a silk head wrap that I can wrap all of my hair into.. I co-sleep with my 6 month old baby boy, and he nurses throughout the night so we are constantly rolling to different positions and what not.. and I can imagine that might be why my hair has dreaded up so quickly... and while that can be desirable.. thats why I developed the congos to begin with.. not enoughseparatingand too much rolling around on my cotton pillowcase. lol
Well, this post was mostly just to ramble about my thoughts on how my dreads are doing currently. But I would like to add that I am sogratefulto have found this site!! So I special Thanks to everyone that has commented on my posts and written posts on here.. I really enjoy reading what others have to say about their dreads.
