I'll start with a picture I took right before we started dreading it. Hair looks overly fluffy because i washed my hair with a type of soap which made it super-dry. My hair had a hard time of dreading naturaly because i have inherited my fathers oily hair, so artificial seemed to be the only way to go.
Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, the only camera i have is the one on my cellephone. :P
The very first dread, made with bacckombing and some crocheting.
The day after we made the first dread, we finished the rest of them too, 37 in all.
Week two. The babies had stopped looking like disfigured cornrows, and taken on the appearance of a rats nest. Oh, how proud i was of them. :P
About two months in. At this point they were tightening up nicely, and I found a funny little metal cylinder that I used to put into a random dread every morning. I wonder what happened to it...
Month three and a half. They were starting to settle down at this point, instead of pointing straight out in the air.
Half a year old. (6 months)
Taken last week, 10 months old. (Or, at least i think it's ten months. I started them last Easter, so its around that point.)
Been a while since i updated this. They're around 1.5ish years old now, and are growing like crazy. I've even got some baby dreads forming from loose hair all over.
