has anyone started dreads with backcomb then u crochet, and only crocheted once?
yah i backcombed then for the first month or so i would use the dhhq loose hair tool 2.0 to crochet segments of hair that would come out.. it was a lot flatter than a crochet hook and much skinnier (my one saving grace), but they turned out well when i stopped.. it didnt take long for them to frizz up a little and then lock back into place. but mine turned out just fine with little to no (apparant) breakage
thoose are comforting words from what i have been hearing about the crochet method. i guess every subculture has its skeptics and ranking order,but that is not why i started locking. i did to re-establish my identity and try to showcase the roots of my soul. what i have been hearing tonight i must admit, has put me on edge but you have solidified my confidence and allowed me to push forward into my initial goal. kudos and i thank you

Mine are crochet and i love them. Some people view it as cheating, but i see it as artistic expression as I have created my dreads as an image of what I personally love and find attractive about dreads and what i feel will suit me. Some of my crochet are a year old and as long as you dont wash them too often with norm shampoos they stay lovely. Like every other dreader i have loops, loose bits and waves. Roots may need crocheting in every so often, but as long as you treat them well you dont need excessive maintainance. Personally I see it as a great starting point and headstart, especially if you require neatness and form urgently for our fast paced and stereotypical world.
hers were a year old shes still crocheting so they never really recovered annd dreaded properly
it will take you 6 months from today before they even start to dread
and therees always that 1 in 1000 that cant accept the fact they made a mistake so stuburnly insist its a good idea
