A lot of Scandinavian's (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian people) is pretty scared about the thought of getting having dreads. They think that their hair won't dread properly because our hair ain't as thick and strong as many other people from around the world.
This is my progress. I'm a 18 year old high school student from Denmark, and i've been dreading for one month and a week now.
I will keep uploading new pics on this thread every month or so.
This is 2 weeks after back-combing (I do not recommend doing this, i diden't know anything about dreads by that time, i recommend letting your hair do it yourself by time.)
^ 2 weeks
This is my dreads today:
1 month and 1 week (wet dreads)^
1 month and 1 week (wet dreads)^
1 month and 1 week (dry dreads)^
For maintance, i do nothing but wash them a couple of times during the week, and i'm starting to seperate some of them.
I'm not able to get any good dread shampoo here in Denmark, so i'm just using a natural shampoo from a normal store, which has nothing in it that would harm.
I consider getting some aloe vera gel (pure aloe vera) and some saltwater and mix it with my natural shampoo, to make my own kind og shampoo. But that's just thoughts.
Have a great day out there, and i will post more pics later!
