share your dreading mistakes so others might avoid the same dreadlock mistakes you made

i used also ocra for my dreads, i cut in big pieces cooked shortly, and was getting a slimy little green liquid from, have heard that this is quiet healthy for the dreads too, and also make that they are glue more together. I actually liked it, felt very natural, it dit not smelled after and no had also no green dreads lolthinny hair always a problem to get them dread, and also noticed that age is important too, as when you are getting older hair changesas i used to croch them, saw many different hairtypes, ooooo truly have to think now different after reading here

wished one would have told me earlier, that croching is hurting, and yes i can tell this from my own dreads seeen, yes WISHED THAT I WOULD KNEW BEFORE, AND THANKFUL THAT I KNOW NOWi pity that dreads become a fashion, one side might easier to find a job, and acepted for walk around with dreads, that others can more easier fit you into a place,when i learned about the history (Rastafari) , they told me, that if you had dreads they shoot first and asked questions later seeenas it is to me no fashion i will not cut or change and will stil walk around proudly when only one is left on my head i do not care what others might say, as they only judge on the outside

cutting my dreads off in 2006 man my dreads would be so long now

hmm, a small uncommon mistake I made that I wish I didn't. I had very very curly hair, so after I originally back combed I had very thing, but very long curls that were at the ends of *most* of the tips of my hair still, so in my infallible wisdom, I decided to cut off very little of some parts of them,,well turns out months later the tips I didn't cut just got , well kinda crushed onto each other when I slept so that months later they just formed into pretty good dreads.the ones I cut took longer for the tips to form.

I've skimmed through some responses and decided to chime in...~My first locks where done in a salon, with a dread perm. NEVER NEVER fall for this. I lived in green bay, and someone told me this was a good idea, i musta been high to fall for it. Not only was it backcombed all to hell, they put perm rods in and perm it to stay. (might i add, i PAID for this.) Then i could not wash it for 3 months. I am surprised my hair did not fall out. Surprisingly i kept those locks for over a year.~Never hit a bong and let one fall in your face. It will torch all the way up. Like a sock. Stinks too.If you have done something really dumb to your young dreads, might as well just start over right away. You will be much happier in the long run.
