is there any advice on sectioning and how to keep tnr from coming undone? When I first tried, I went tnr, then after they came undone, I brushed whatever I had and went neglect
@femalepheromones is there a certain way you sleep/shower so that they don't come undone? The area of your hair that's dreaded for me, just simply wont dread.
this is my most recent 9m and 3w. Not even close compared to others who have gone this long
should i decide to comb them out, what would be the best process for that? should I soak my hair in conditioner for a certain amount of time and have at it or try to under the knots from the root by hand to try to break the least amount of hair?
I'm at about 9 and half months, and from about 4 months, there has been absolutely no progress or change. If anything, the knots at the end of my hair are too heavy for any knots to allow themselves to form closer to the root. I'm really considering brushing my hair out. I'm not sure if I'll try again. It's been really frustrating. I washed 2-3 times a week, left my hair alone, never ran my hands through it and tried my best. I used vicki's sea salt and shampoo. I was really hoping my hair would dread neglect. If I do decide to do them again, I might go tnr or get them started by crochet and chop off the crocheted part as they grow. Any last advice I can get from everyone?
it's really too bad, i really hope the day comes soon since i'm nearing 9 months. I almost feel like combing them out and starting all over from scratch hoping to get better sections I only have about 15 dreads to begin with anyways
I feel like I waste way too much shampoo when washing. I'll try that next time.
I get disappointed when I shower and see a bunch of hair fall out that could have been part of a dread
I figure im going to have to go that route
do you have any advice on how to work your scalp when showering? i complained so much about my bangs and top of head not dreading so I turned my head upside down and scrubbed my scalp trying to get my hair to knot a bit, i get out of th e
shower and my bangs are knotted to dreads in the back of my head, definitely not what i was asking for when I said i wanted my bangs to dreads...
If I comb it out, should I just leave the hair loose as it is? what if it just ends up trying to join neighboring dreads making them even fatter as well?
makes sense since i sleep on my back and don't move in my sleep.
i'm really on t he fence about combing out those two dreads with really big sections, they're pretty well knotted. i think they're my two most progressed ones, i tried splitting them again after showering today, it was
no go. theyre just too tight and i don't have enough pulling room
I was thinking tying off the root loosely so that it grows separately and when I can get more leverage to pull it, split it.
