Backcombing regret
Help! Save My Dreads
All dread locks tighten as they mature, they will become thicker tighter and less frizzy over time. Back combing is still not a method for instant dreads, as mature dreads take a long time to achieve in any method of starting them. if you're not happy with the way they look now then you could try combing them out while they're still babies and go natural. natural is more spiritual, and fun to see how they change each week. Some people's hair dreads naturally faster than others. Also if you go natural the hair won't look as 'sideshow bobish' it won't stick out as much, however they will be wavy and crazy, much less straight and 'perfect' looking. I hope this helps, if you have any questions feel free

My timelineee!
Member Journals and Timelines
Hope fully I can keep adding to this! ok... so I started my dreads 4th September 2011. I started them because I wanted to feel like myself. At the start of college I decided that I would find myself and try to accept myself for who I truly was. A new start, with a new place and no one knew who I was. Everyone at college is so accepting of me for exactly how I am and I love how everyone's different and feels comfortable in their own skin. Along the way I've been learning a lot about myself as a person, that I accept myself as who I am now, and my hair is it's natural self and is forming how it wants to form ect. and I love it I think my dreads are forming quickly! Hope people enjoy my timeline as much as I do.
1 week! -sections in the first week were promising!
2 weeks!
2 months!
3.5 months and I dyed them pink!
4 months!
5 months and starting to look goood
6 Months! dyed some blue :D
7 months!
7.5 months and a new colour
8 months
9 months in the sun lots of roots showing, and I decide to grow out my natural colour for a while
10 months!
they're really coming along and some are so solid I can't even squish them, they're so compact. Lots of loops folding back on themselves, blunting of themselves, and shrinking. Even though as you can tell my hair has grown a lot I have not lost any length from when I started cause of shrinking! Love them, and love the journey, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
10.5 months! I have a lot of dreads that bend at right angles as you can tell, One day they should settle down though!
11 months!
Edit. Wow my dreads are well over a year now, let me show you the progress since! they just keep getting better and better!
1 year and 1 month
1 year and 4 months:
as you can see I bleached my ends and now the tips are all blonde sorry that the 1 year 4 months pic isn't very clea, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be taking more pictures because they have just turned 1.5 years
1 and a half years now! finally took pictures

Can You Color/Dye Dreads?
General Questions
I find no problems with dying my dreads, as mine are obviously blue... but yeah I would wait a while until they mature so that the dye won't make them fall out, that happened to me when I first started my dreads. But you have to make sure you rinse EVERY bit of dye out!! But anyway... Dreaded hair is still hair so there's no reason why it wouldn't work :/ You just got to be careful! And henna is natural red dye
