ok so im one month and one week in and my roots there..there..poofy as hell i guess thats my natural hair growing or what not but what do i do? when i headband my hair back i see how poofy it gets 20121029_110102.jpg is this apart of the process? or should i start crocheting? and is there any way i can resection some?

i have really knotty curly hair as you can see 20121029_204310-1.jpg i was wondering is there any section of this website or does anyone with my kind of hair thats been dreading since short hair with the twist and rip / natural method have any timelines i can see? cause its not easy feeling good about the stages im going through without actually seeing someone that went through those stages succeed in them ya know? i just want to feel more secure about these stages that way a though in my head could tell me that its just a stage and there not just looking crazy ya knw? thanks! =D

so i cut off the top of one of the smallest beanies ive had on me in order to make some sort of dread lock head wrap which was a fail cause now its fabric is everywhere, where i cut is falling apart does anyone have any sitesspecificallyto buy things for dread locks? accessories? tams?, beads. beanies etc?

hey guys, my dreads are making me feel like without the head band im going for some chucky finster look or some crack head xD im not paranoid or anything i just want to know what can i do to at least to make less of this crappy dread look mind you that im using natural method xP
