dreads grow they will get to your waist..themn your toers
dreads are a commitment you dont make fake dreads to your waist in a day you let real dreads grow to your waist..
they tighten over time forced tightening is extremely damaging
The second photo is not dreads. Her hair was just twisted and a lot of hairspray was used to make a " temporary dread style". The first photo looks like it was possibly back combed. healthy dreads are not something that can be made. They grow and knot over time. It takes up to a year or longer before it is mature.
You can use a starter method like back combing or TnR. and have a bit of control over the thickness of the dread. Rule of thumb...dread will fatten up and be about as thick as the section.
As for extensions..I get the creeps just thinking about them. It is someone else's hair!!!!! you don't have a clue where it came from.. or what kind of person they are. If you attach their hair to your head you are carrying around THEIR energy. Right now in theCaribbean people with dreads are getting assaulted and having their hair cut offso that it can be sold to people like you that want instant long hair.
Or your can use the synthetic extensions..but they are plastic..who wants plastic hair?
Dreads are so special because they are all unique. They are a process that takes time and patience. Please search through the site. There is lots of information on all the different starter methods. But remember these are starter methods....they will not look like or be mature dreads for at least a year
Hi Skylee. You are living the hippie lifestyle, so why the rush then for long dreads? Hippies are free spirited, and laid back, and dreads should be too. Instead of being rushed and wanting them today, give yourself a 5 year goal on how you want your natural, free form dreads to look. In five years you can look back at your journey and go wow..Each bump, inch and strand will hold your past, your stories & history. Dreads you grow will be a huge part of you, you'll appreciate them for what they are.
see thats why barrellady is the newest dread guru
thats so right dreads arent a style u staple on then run around saying look at me im a dready they grow from within you they arent rushed they are nurtured into existence..
focus less on what they are going to look like. dreads are never going to be immediate, its a long journey for the kind of image you have set in your mind.
i've spoken to people with extensions and they really regretted putting them in.. even the people who had sewn their friends cut dreads into their hair. why would you want something that isn't essentially you? taye is completely right about the energy!
