I'd like to thank all you beautiful souls here for what you're doing. I rushed into dreadies with only knowledge from jonny and others. Well 9 weeks ago I combed out my backcombed set and embarked on a journey. Without the truth and encouragement spoken here, I wouldn't have had the balls to start over. I know I would've loved my other set (and boy do I miss them after even a short time), but now I feel like I've found the right path.
I try not to touch it as much as possible, or even look at it. I have a tendency to fuss. But it sure was exciting the first time you try to brush hair out of your face and your hand gets stuck , then I started looking. They're popping up everywhere! Still in their ultra-infant stages, but it makes me so happy. I have been taking a couple pictures every month and starting to put together a timeline which will be posted soon.
Once again guys, thanks for everything, my hair thanks you too. You could cut the love with a knife on this forum.

thats so awesome congrats im sure this set you'll have a good long time.. johny advocates instant dreads , but they end up being very temporary.. i think our sites got more dreads over 10-15 years then any other and im sure most who are just starting out here will survive that long too

Good for you taking out the insta-dreads and starting a-new! I am sure you will be even more proud to display the signs of your long journey! I'm going the natural route, and am also so glad I found this website/community!
