Alright so I guess today is technically my first day, I just put in my last dread tonight! Finally haha... It took about three weeks of just doing one or two a day. So one side of my head is like three weeks old the other is like... ten minutes. It's actually kind of cool because it lets me see just how much the one side has progressed.So I used Twist n' rip like the title says but I didn't section my hair in inch squares or anything...I just went about two weeks without brushing my hair before I started and it sectioned on it's own, so they're really comfortable and don't stick up oddly at all.This side is the new side as Seen by my rather pathetic camera skills...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/shinobi_o_doom/DSC00163.jpg Uhhm... Lets see, we're slipping a bit at the roots though they're supposed to climb up a bit more? I'm gonna bead a couple of the ones that're trying to come loose in a bit and well, I left a lot of loose hair in them on purpose I found it started doing really neat things. One of my dreads has a chunk of loose hair wrapping around it and forming a cool pattern on top it's reallyawesome! A lot of them are flat right now too but I actually quite like them that way so from here on out I'm letting nature take her course.Guess I'll post again in a couple weeks?I think it's been around two weeks since the last update? Maybe? Haha Not entirely sure eitherway, We're over a month now on the older ones, the front ones are younger... But only on one side. Haha it's a bit confusing.Pardon the pictures, they were taken from my cell phone as I don't have a camera kickin' around lol.
This ones just a shot of my favourite of the bunch... He's starting to do some crazy things now it's pretty exciting
So yeah... I've noticed that they've crept up the roots in a lot of places (yaaay) and they're already tightening up quite nicely. It's also turning into a bit of a mix of natural and Tn'R because I didn't dread some of my hair before and the lose haris are forming into dreads now too... Or wrapping aorund other ones. Cool stuff either way. The most maintenance I do is a bit of separating and if running aorund outside in the wind a lot counts, that too. Lol.Uhhm I think it's been a bit past a week since my last update? Wasn't planning on posting another one for a bit but some interesting things have taken place since. I had one dread that had gotten so thick it was uncomfortable but it separated really easily, the two new dreads out of it look like they've been there as long as the rest, and I've got some new babies forming in my loose hair already. The main reason I'm posting is cause I got my first 'nice dreads' comment this week, from a couple people too which I think is a good indication of progress eh?
Back View, Can't wait for the top ones to knot up more
The same loopy dread as last time...
