YearningForPeace's Dread Journey
Member Journals and Timelines
Heya fellow dread cats. It's been so long since I've posted anything. I started my dread journey back in April of 2013 with the twist and rip method. A month later I decided I had too few dreads (only 30 something) and delicately pulled them apart. I put my dreads back in May, if I recall correctly, for a total of 60 some. Twist and rip method again. It's almost a year now and my dreads are coming along nicely. I have a few concerns per my own doing, but generally speaking all is well in dreadville. I fully understand now that I MUST put down the bleach and step away from the developer. At least for my dreads. My bang fringe will forever be bleach blonde because I love the look of spunky colors. Here's my journey thus far...
Before dreads. I loved the 'mermaid' look.
The first set of dreads started April of 2013 showed a lot of scalp and lasted almost a month. I wasn't a fan. Proceed to the next and final set. This photo was taken days after twisting and ripping my new set in May.
Fast forward to July, here are my dreads at 2 months. Don't mind the baby. I was a labor doula for a friend and this was outcome, the baby
And here are my dreads in September. 4 months.
5 months...
And here we have December of 2013. 7 months.
Finally, February of 2014. 9 months and counting!!
There you have it. I'm at 9 months and inching ever so closely to that one year mark.
Thanks for reading!
