Dreadlocks Growing. (DAY ONE)

i just shaved an hour ago because i wanna start over.

i did Backcombing+Crochet method when i started my dreadlocks. yeah they looked neat, but really they're just a bunch of stiff and REAL-tight hair.

i felt pain whenever i tried to move them, i felt Fake cause they're dead Stiff, so i SHAVED my head with joy! (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH).

If your growing your hair, remeber to condition it (But this is when your growing healthy hair, DO NOT CONDITION if your trying to get dreads) I.e. im waiting for my hair to be down to my shoulders before I get dreads (just personal choice) but if you want to grow your hair to about 6 inches, just keep it super healthy. Don't comb it when its wet and thats about it.

dont comb at all but yea conditioning can be good

vitamin u jojoba aloe all good

combing i would skip or youd be tempted to trym split ends every few months no combing no split ends no trims ..quicker growth

Womens pregnancy tablets can also speed up the growth of hair (speeds up the growth of hair & nails) but it depends how quick you want your hair to grow. I was like you (except I didn't have dreads, but I shaved my head) and figured that I wanted dreads, so a year and a half on (with trims along the way) my hair is growing little by little. But if I was you don't worry too much about growing ya hair, dreads are a journey & everything takes time =]

I would go to your local health food store and look for a solid multivitamin for men, but one formulated specifically for the hair which it will say so on the front. Vitamins like Biotin, maganese, saw palmetto etc are supposed to be very good for hair health and growth. A multi vitamin like will contain them and more. I also have heard pre-natals are good for this, though i wont take them myself. And yes, rosemary is supposed to be great for hair growth too.

SE i bet your hair does grow well likely given your vegeterian diet. For folks like me tho who dont have the best diets, multivitamins are the way to go to help replace what you dont get as often from fruits and veggies.
