Hey guys!
I'm almost at the 2 month mark for my natural dreadlock journey. I started out /w backcombing and a lot of them fell out, but the ones that stayed are dreading very nicely. I've been letting the rest lock naturally - it's worked for some sections that rest closest against my scalp when I have to wear a baseball cap for work. But the area around the top back part of my head is having a hard time just-because. The sides on the front are having a hard time ever since I got this job being a dishwasher (had for 3 weeks) cause I have to tie it back in a pony tail, and the sides aren't long enough to complete the pony tail so I have to tuck them behind my ears a lot and they get wet from the steam of the area.
Either way - I was thinking of TnR'ing some trouble sections so they have a better chance to survive the hat issue. I know those sections may just need some extra length to properly hold /w neglect - but I also haven't tested to see if those sections are actually already forming. I'd hate to ruin some progress if there is any that I can't see in the mirror.
Of course, the top of my head is nicely dreading.. I'm thinking I'll get a wool pillow case and tam since I don't have any yet, as I'm not sure if my cotton pillow cases are helping the cause. Since the progress is so much farther along on top I usually just wear a bandana in public.
I guess my question is - does TNR "reset progress back to day 1" on the naturally-sectioned-stage like backcombing does?? Like, can TnR strengthen an existing baby dread/section if necessary with decent results?
Love ya guys. Thanks.
