I'm surprised by how much I like them. I thought this stage would be harder to deal with. I've been trying to take a daily pic this first month to see how they've changed. I'll probably go to once every couple of weeks after tomorrow.
Thanks! They've been a little nutty. I had a couple completely separate into two new dreads, so that's interesting. But I'm loving the loops, because that means progress
This is the start of my journey... A couple days after backcombing to now, just over two weeks in. I plan to post to this thread as I go.
I have really thin hair, it felt like any smaller and the hair wouldn't tangle at all. Okay, I 'll check.
Okay, I'll check out the posts, thanks. We tried wax my first attempt and I ended up having to wash my hair and restart- so no, none this time around. No crochet hooks as I don't get how that works exactly.
We did 1 x 1 sections.... 69 dreads, unless I miscounted
Hi all, I'm a mom of 2 and very new to my dreadlocks journey. I joined, because I'm looking for some support on whether or not I'm doing this right and if I need to redo my dreads, or if they're right where they should be. I'm the only person I know with dreads, so I have no idea how they're supposed to look at this point. I have fine, straight hair and used the backcombing method. I've used locking gel a few times these past 2 weeks and also have washed them gently a couple of times. Right now, I feel most of them are just bunches of straight hair, but they're still separated into their sections. Is this how they're supposed to look/feel?
