I am 9 months into my dreads and they are coming along just fine in the back but the front is slower...I am a 40 year old mom of teens who keep telling me to do this and do that...All I did was stop brushing and seperate them as best I can...Loving it...

your doing it the best way there is Mary Wilbur said:

I didn't spend money for my dreads but I think it was a good trade. It cost me my vanity and negative self image. =DI now leave those things for people that have the patience for them.

Haha well said! I was one day away from spending 200 bucks on salon dreads. This site and SE saved me just in time. I did twist and rip and I am pretty proud to say that I did them myself and not in some crappy salon. Spider Feet said:

or you can be humble and proud and spend nothing, that is the bottom line...

hmm... Makarov... isn't that a contradiction? (humble/proud simultaniously...)and it has been my experience that many people with natural dreads are quite far from humble about them....

I think he meant modest. Usually pretty interchangable words. Humble is an internalized process where modest is a character trait.Humility is for the self destructive in my opinion. =o Lex said:
