I got my dreads about 7 to 8 weeks ago using rip and twist. Since then I have done a bit of crochet work on them more on the tips cuz I didn't like my curls on the ends of the dreads and didn't know what else to do... So I haven't worked on them too intensely but they are quite stiff, not like when I first got them with rip and twist but harder than I'd like.
I forget the date of when I actually got them but they looked like this after a week or a few days (can't recall the date) but before I did hardly any crochet work on them. (I never took many early pics but I'll look for more) Sorry for the brightness and contrast. thought I still think the top one looks kinda cool and crazy.
And now they look like this (taken today)
My current plan is as many I've read about here. Drop the crochet hook in the trash and watch.
though any comments on them? recommendations? I have not yet tried to do the baking soda washing, but I will work to find all the stuff. I'm also in Bolivia, so I don't know where it all is may take a while to find.
