Hi people, how are you doing?,
i have some doubts and im wodering if you can help me with them... i got dreadlocks approximately two weeks ago by crochet method and trying to find out how to do the maintenance i endend up here and saw/read all the benefits of natural dreads... so my question is , can i go natural from this point? will the roots naturally dread with time?, , i havent done any maintenance yet.
Cheers to everyone and have a nice day.
yes yes an yes 
seems u already kno and just need reasurance yep just leave them alone and they will do all of that haha goodluck an no maintenence other than pulling each one apart for getting all stuck together haha which would form huge ones haha but if u like that then haha donr pull dem apart haha goodluck and welcome:D
take a look at my dreads
i wouldnt have dreads if they didnt dread naturaly
and even if i crovcheted to start and the roots didnt dred id have silly lil crocheted 2 inches with 17-20 feet of hair (not really since u shed every hair every 7 years so it woiuld be in 3 seperate disconnected peices)
but the thing about croichet is its evil
it did extreme harm and delayed any progress by 6 moinths
over the next 6 month s there wont be any dreadung till they loosen up enough to dread'
they will get 10 times more frizz then healthy dreads from all the broken hairs popping out
they will slowlu=y get less scratchy ad roiugh and stiff and get softer
then loop..when they start to loop they are startring to dread right
Yep, your journey will be longer to get mature dreads, but you still can. Never crochet again, do no maintenance except for washing and separating any sections trying to join together.
The first year, they won't look like dreads, they will be fuzzy from the broken hairs, but in time those hairs will get sucked into the dread. They will loop and zig zag while on their journey, at times they will look messy. This is the patience part. With time, and inner strength, you will be rewarded with beautiful mature dreads (might take you 2 years due to crochet), but it will be worth it. If you want your dreads for years to come, or for life, then let them be, find your inner strength and put up with the crazy things it will do to get there for you. Never give in and change what they are doing, it will all be a natural process they need to go through.. We are all glad that you found this site now...I think it is the best one on the web...
Hang in there and enjoy the ride. .....Peace
Oh yeah, don't you just love Soaring Eagles dreads! All natural baby, all natural!
