Well I'm up to 24 dreads now, day 11. The roots in the back are getting really loose, so I guess we'll see how that goes. The top section is really fuzzy, along with alot of the roots. Been using aloe from the leaf to smooth down the fuzziness, but it keeps coming back almost worse. So I guess we'll see how it goes.
Yeah, that's about where I'm at on my baby dreads. I'm now up to fourteen of them (yay!!) and I'm really happy with them already. Seems like the fatter ones are moving along a bit better and faster than the skinnier ones, but that may just be how it looks at the moment. No pics, yet, have to wait until I can use my boyfriends ipod since my phone sucks and I have no camera 
Just a quick little update!!
I'm Charlene, Charly for short. Use whichever you like.
I'm only on day two or three of my nine little dreadies. I plan on putting alot more in, but right now I'm just seeing how the nine do first so I know whether I should try something else or not.
I used the twist and rip method, and so far it seems to be going really well. I do plan on crocheting the loose hairs and roots so they are all nice, but I don't plan on making them look completely done up to perfection.
Any advice?
it's okay. well i haven't combed my hair in 14 years and it still stayed the same way. i've been using tutorials made my a girl named harriot, she did hers with twist and rip because she had the same problem with her hair that i do, and it seems that even after she took her dreads out, her hair was fine. i won't crochet though
