They look like dreads in your avatar, and blond dreads are shmexy, so the more pics the better!! And what's this interlocking method, I'm intrigued and would like to read the thread that was discussed it.

what i understand interlocking to be is using a small loop to pull the entire dread throught the loose section of hair at the scalp, then repeating at different angle but always moving the angle in the same direction... is that what you meant? i've been doing that a bit... but i think i'll just rub them instead.... interlocking makes mine look kinda skinny and weak at the rootsnow about these dread journals... where do i find? sounds interesting

i was always told that the method you just described was a severe no-no. Meant to create weak spots in your dreads further on down the track. Just what I have been told anyways... Erin Joy Lauzon said:

oh thats known as root flipping alsio and yes that can cause dreads to fall right offespecialy if u use it to try getting them tightits a very bad practicein fact when i was listing all the bad practices i didnt even mention thative done something simular to start loose strands by tying a knot in the tip then looping the knot through a few timesbut im talking 3 to 6 times in 6 inches of hair..not tight only ebnough to hold it together to let it dread..even then i only do it if the hairs are blowin in m,y face and being annoyingif u do it to tighten your causing a real weak pointr that easily can snap off

its a very bad practice

already talked to him some but surefor him tho i think twist n rip and toss in a bead would be best unless hes patient enough to gain a few more inches andf go natural
