it's so freeing to know that you'll never have to wake up earlier just to make sure your hair looks right, isn't it?

the begining of my journey, nice to meet you all
Introduce Yourself
That's so great that you look at your own problems as qualities to help you in life. Everything we face is just another learning experience for us.
Glad you decided to lock up. It's always nice to have another person who understands what it's like to be a free spirit and dance to their own drum.
I personal don't dance to any drum. I just sit and listen to the beat. I'm kind of a sloth that way. But I get it
Good luck. I hope to check in with your progress
TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT
Dread Maintenance
Not at all. Perming does do some damage, but if you just let your hair grow, and take better care of it from now on, it will heal itself
A hello and an introduction :)

looking good. I can see a few really nice mature looking ones
Please advise....
Dread Maintenance
crocheting break the hairs causing them to poke out in every which direction. They will fix themselves on their own as they age, but you are just causing more damage and frizzy hair by crocheting.
Like eagle said, wash more. I live in atemperatezone (south east Pa.). I was once a week or more sometimes.
If you really really can't stand the frizzy hairs, you might want toreconsiderlocks. They are by nature frizzy hair.
They only time I would try to "maintain" them is if you have a special occasion to go to. Int hat case, rub a tiny amount of pure Aloe on each one. But you do not want to do that every day
beads helping dreads along a lot..
General Talk
beads just help contain your hair. It's not that the bead makes them lock better. They just help keep that lock separate from other hair so it can lock on its own and not keep getting tangled in other ones.
If the bead is tight, though, it will help compress the hair faster, but only in that spot
My hair!
General Talk
we kind of need pics to see what you mean, but usually the back of your head tends to mat a little more than the top and front. It's probably got to do with how it lays. The side usually take a little longer cause for most people that hair is usually finer and softer than the rest
I posted back here about a year ago asking some advice...some natural progress from a shaved head.

It's actually better for them to be looser at the roots
