Dread Maintenance
My hair is funny its thick and on the sides and back dreads form on their own(if I justsaid fuck it and ggrew my hair and didn't brush ) I'm on my 2nd set of love I had my first set 13 years ago and always said I wouldn't grow out my hair unless I was locking it I started with 3 1/2 inches length wise and did the r&t method banding the roots and tips I'm a day shy of my first week and plan on my babies first wash at 10days I can normally get away without washing my hair for almost two weeks as is due to what lil matnience I do so my oils aren't developed as quick as someone who kept real good care. Everyone is going to say wait it out and really that's all you can do if you want to have kik damaged natural dreads or you could do the other methods that in the end will most likely hit yer pockets and scalp harder then if you were to let mother nature run her course sorry for the ramble good luck on yer journey
