Isn’t that the truth? Wow you have some seriously impressive locs! They must be heavy.
What do you think about dreading with my bangs? Should I let them grow in some more?

I just went through all my old posts and it’s actually been 10 years!!!

Wow, it’s been a while! I am amazed I was able to log into my old account on here. I took a little bit of a hiatus from dreading (my hair was black and growing in brown so I brushed out my dreads to get the color fixed and I was sad about all that time down the drain and then life happened and here we are!) and I have been thinking about starting the journey again.
I got bangs a few months ago and they’re growing in. Are they too short to start dreading right now? I don’t want them to look weird or not incorporate well with the rest of my hair. Is this the right forum for this question?
ps, hi soaring eagle!!

Starting dreadlocks from fresh but a little nervous
Dreading Methods
yeah just let your hair go free! it's much more fun that way and you won't be frustrated with it becuase you're not trying to control it

Ugh!!! I'm unsatisfied ONCE AGAIN.
Why don't I just listen to SE!! I should have just done natural right from the start.
Sections are too big, looks way too made up. I know in the end its going to look the same BUT I know now that the end result will look better on me if I let my hair pick its own sections.
Damn you doubt, damn you. I'm taking them out today and starting over.

i'm so glad you're not using wax! i'm doing the neglect method and i love it i love watching it every day. I use dr bronners soap to wash my hair the big bottle is like $14 but it's huge and worth it. good luck with your tnr!
starting over.... :/
General Talk
thanks guys! well i got a consultation and she told me that lifting black is a long hard process and bad for your hair.. so i guess i'm just going to have to let it grow out... i wish i'd have known that yesterday! oh well
