Am I too late?


Help! Save My Dreads

I will try that thank you even though I just washed yesterday would it be possible to do that today? Or should I wait a couple of days?  Again thank you for all your assistance. Also some strands feel kind of hard I'm assuming the conditioner will take care of that?

Oh wow and well not just her looks but her hair is just gorgeous every time. I'm sure it's always prepped and ready for a photo shoot but I really adore the way her locs are. Yeah just from the shape and everything they are free form. Looking at other locs that are similar seem to be freeform or semi. The way they are the way I wanted to get my locs.

Ah okay seeing some of the freeforms or what I believe were free forms were something that I wanted to do. Something like KingKesia now that I know a bit more about the distinctions perhaps it is semi that way they don't become too massive. Looking to do something similar to what I have now just without the damage that has been done basically. I'm also new to the terminology so that could be my mistake in describing things as well to which I do apologize.

In a way it is I'd rather go a natural way than this "artificial" way as I'm starting to see it as. I mean it does give you looks but at times it doesn't feel right. It is important that I go natural but I wouldn't say it is 100% or maybe it's the aspect of not wanting to start over as well especially given I wouldn't know how to start locing my own hair. Then again to get the interlock, gel and whatever else she used out is far more important as well.

I guess I must have thrown the brush away lol I did have it in my closet but it's not there anymore, but you described it to a T. Now I'm worried I mean I don't see any signs of damage but I definitely don't want to see the signs later on. Looking more and more like I should just restart :/

I saw it but figured I would post the message and then update the topic with my pictures since my phone camera is better than this laptop one. The hook was used near the scalp in some you can definitely tell; but new growth is helping a few of the locs.

Edit - OMG Thank you! So I guess cut out the time with the loctician, wash and leave them alone at this point? Should I also use a brush? I got one from the beauty supply store that is supposed to help form or at least better help the locs I already have.

I'm sorry I think I got it wrong it wasn't wax but gel. I know it's not too much of a difference but that is what was used a bit. I wash my hair about once every two weeks but starting to increase it about twice a week to see if that will help. Since the interlock has been in for a while I'm assuming it's best if I cut and start fresh? Since they are interlocked the loctitian said I can just wash whenever they are in for good. I will be uploading a few better pictures in a moment. This is my first time around so at this point I wasn't sure what to do just hoping they can be saved :S.

Edit here are the pictures not sure if they help or hinder. Excuse the mess in my room lol

Help! Save My Dreads


So after a ton of research and arriving to this forum ( late as usual ) I was wondering if I am too late to save my locs? Let me first say I started back in January of this year and visited a loctiton ( I know the consensus on this board about them lol ). So for the first few weeks she just sectioned and rolled my hair with a bit of wax, which I guess isn't that bad. Then in February I believe or march? She decided to interlock my hair which I didn't think anything of at the time; instant locs that's great! As time goes on she simply palm rolled and and helped some loose strands stay tight. Fast forward to now after researching all of this I was wondering if there was any way to undo the interlock? I know it's been about seven months but I'd rather not start off, I don't think I can take them through the loop as some dreads have gotten bigger ( like natural ) so I was wondering what I should do? I also have 4c hair and will try to upload a picture to give a better description.

Edit I don't know if these pictures help, but I was wondering. Could I take a straight razor and just cut where the loop was made severing that and just palm rolling them?
