3 months in and looking crazy!

Patience is a virtue. Dreadlocks seem to be teaching me some life lessons. 

Soaring eagle, 

Thank you for being so patient with me and all of my questions. I am wondering if this is normal? A few pieces have looped back on themselves and around 6 inches shorter. 

completely that's both the looping and shrinking that is the teen stage

Awesome. Thank you!

awe awesome! The loopy stage is so fun! Looks good! :D

I put some smaller beads in today. There is no rhyme or reason to what is going on with my hair. I wish I could fast forward this process. 

Soaring Eagle,

Update on this shampoo...

This is making my hair tangle like crazy (which I guess is a good thing). I keep having to separate my dreads more than I have thus far. Also, I have a little dandruff now. I have some tea tree oil. I've heard this can help. What application do you recommend?

My hair is doing the same as yours... It will tangle a little on its own but I also can't help twisting the pieces a little. And in the back it feels like big clumps with no rhyme or reason that maybe I should pull apart. The top and front just won't do anything other than sit there. No clumps. Kind of frustrating and I can't believe my family isn't making more comments about my strange clumpy unkempt hair.

I'm glad that I am not alone in this. Time is our biggest helper.

Soaring Eagle, 

Hello! I hope all is well. I have a new question.

Would criss crossing some of my dreads in hemp hinder the locking process? Thank you
