I'm 11 mo in on my dreads. I have had then crocheted twice (nearest place is 8 hours)
So, w/o crochet hook (which yes, I have some, but I rarely used due to it hurts my bad wrist) but that's kinda all I know... Root rubbing. . I've given myself friction burns and nada.
We'll, idk when, 2 mo or so, I tried root flipping. Did each 2x (some 3, but one horizontal, one vertical) and my over processed hair broke around the outsides of a buncha dreads on the top and around the edges of my head
I can't stand this frizzy, messy, a KY mess.
I have hair thread, I recall reading about tying around the roots to keep em separate and a bit neater while time does it's thingthing with the short hairs to integrate... BUT
Is this good idea? HTH does one ever remove it??
I wear a silicone wrap for 2 days and it doesn't want to come off...
Or does the string stay and just becomes part of the dread?
Also, I've not processed my hair in.... 9.5 months.... My natural hair color is scaring me.
But so is broken hair.....
It's "bleached" out, then color over it. My roots are dark. I think mud is the color. Ashy mud.
I'm usually some form of red head.
Is a basic bottle of color with (20 or 30) developer fine?
I've considered henna, but no clue.
It'll take at LEAST 4 bottles of color. I've not seen my natural color since 1992, and I've dyed it every color over the years. (would take 2 bottles if not dreaded. 60 dreads,most are shoulder blade/bra strap length)
Thank you!
