thanks 
i love fat dreads, i only have like 20 because i wanted them thick.
how i made them:
i took the weave (i got it in one long track) and folded it 3 or 4 times so it was a little wider than the dread i was making the extention for (the top of the track was about an inch long once folded to the correct thickness). then i cut it off the track and attached it to the zipper of my boots with 2 twistties (im sure there is a more professional way to attach it to something but all i had were twist ties and my shoe). then i made the dread (i used the tear and rip method to do my own hair, so i did the same with the extentions). then i cut the dread off the track (right below the sew line) and combed out the top of the dread a little so i had some hair to chrochet into my dread (also in combing it you get out the loose hairs that fall off when you cut it). then i overlapped the 2 dreads a little, and wrapped the non dreaded hair around my natural dread (make sure to wrap it so there are no gaps). and crocheted the hec out of it. its hard to explain how to use the needle itself, i found a good technique after doing it a few times. basically i poked it through and put it in and out really fast, then put it in and grabbed loose hairs on the other side and kinda hooked it. then i palm rolled the whole thing and boom long dread

I was a little strapped for cash so i got a human hair/synthetic blend. my regular hair is a little softer than the extentions, i wish i had gotten human hair. but they look good and the joints are staying nice for now. there were a few i didn't do so well, but i took a strand of hair (from the weave), wrapped it around the joint and crocheted it in and that took care of the problem. they were really suprisingly easy to do. it did take me like 7 hours but wasn't that hard work.

I havn't done anything..When i first started them they were almost too tight i'm actually really glad they've chilled out a bit.

I love dreadies they are the best! I reach up and feel them when i wake up in the morning, i enjoy putting looking in the mirror and playing with cool ways to put them up. I love having a wonderful excuse to use awesome organic shampoos. I love how i rub the hec out of my head to dry them after a shower and not worry about "oh no im going to have to brush these knots i'm creating". I love how they look, how they feel, and most of all I love the confidence they give me. There is something primal and spiritual about locks to me. I don't know if it's odd, but i feel more humble and connected with them flowing down my back. I call them "locks of glory" to myself and they truly are!
Thought i'd post a few new recent photos. :

That makes sense. You've got to do what you've got to do to make yourself feel better. I hope your divorce goes smooth. They can be a real pain. a friend of mine is going through one too. And they've got a little kid and a bunch of pets to fight over

For sure. it's all about the babie's health!! It doesn't work for some people, but at least you can make the effort to try.
Shanxon; thank you!
new pix!: I put extentions in last night. i really hated using a crochet needle, but at least it was just on the bottom of my dread, and i did an even job so its strong.

thanks all! I'm in love with my tats Yes, the one on my arm is the la leche league logo. I am really a supporter of the message they send. I got the logo on my arm where my bubs used to rest his head when he nursed.
