Cody's twist and rip timeline

I was talking to my friend and she asked me when I was going to do my dreads. I told her in a month I will start. She told me way don't you start now. Your hair isn't going to get alot longer in that time. I thought about it and decided I would do it then. As for my scalp I will help it with oils and how I wash it. I am starting sometime this week or weekend. My mom and aunt are going to help me with the back. So here is a pic of me now with my hair undreaded and sometime when I get the dreads done I will post pics of those.

Ok here they are. 2 days old. I had to redo some so thats why I didn't get pics the first day. Tell me what you guys think. Oh and will the ones in the front get any thicker. They are really thin but the sections are a decent size.

My big loopy one

Sorry I haven't been on in a long time. Been very busy. Thought I should update you all with some new pics of my dreads and their progress. It has now been a 1yr and almost 7 months injust a few more days. So here they are

Ok there they are. I have gotten a lot of sun this summer so they have lightened up a lot.

Been along time since I posted some pics again. So here are my 2 year and 2 month old dreads!

Also got my first tattoo! I love the metalocalypse show on adult swim so I got the logo on my back!! Can't see it very well but I will upload a better pic of it on my profile. Anyways I hope you all enjoy my dread progress!

Ok it has been a while since I put up some progress pics. These are my 2yr and 9 month old dreads. Will post more again on my 3yr! This is also the longest I have had dreads as well compared to my other sets I had.

1/23/2013

I have two baby dreads in the front that have started recently.

Ok it is May 30th, 2013. So a month and a half over my 3 year dread anniversary better late than never. So here are some new pics. You will notice that they are a little darker. Haven't been outside much during the winter and plus I just got out of the shower.

Ok it's been 4 years now. Time to update my timeline. 4-16-14

I hope you all enjoy my timeline and it inspires you all.

awesome I just T&R a friends hair, it turned out really beautiful, it'll be cool to see man.

your hairs pretty long theyre gonna look great!

Sweet. So how long did it take once you got the technique down? I am excited to have them again and this time I will keep them for along time. Iain said:

Thank you. You have some really nice dreads by the way. Emily said:

your dreads are gonna be about the same length with the t&r method since it doesn't take off much length unlike backcombing. t&r was the method i used and i also use rubberbands at the ends to keep them in til they completely lock (prob at about 3 months). i'm very satisfied with the results and they look more like mature dreads earlier than backcombed. good luck bro!

depends on how big an all, usually each one I spent about 10casual minutes just talking while doing it, and I didn't put a ton of effort in it since she just wanted some for a little while.

Yea. Cool. I did backcombing the last set I had and it was 14 hours straight of pain. So this way sounds so much better and painless. Iain said:

Awesome. I wasn't sure how much length I would lose. I can't wait to try this way now. Ivan said:
