everytime u tnr u reset the prigress

its completely normal to have loose tiips for awhile

they would have dreaded to the tips most likely by now but your preventing hat progress by resetting it to day 1 every tume u wash

if the tip stay loose it will dry faster as well

but in your hair type its pretty unlikely that the tips will stay loose

geneticly theres an advantage to the way dreads dread

african hair blunts to hold in moisture since africans come from africa a hot humid place same for the skin pigmentation lets less heat be absorbed so blunt dreads staying damp to cool the head prevents overheating

caucasians come from cooler climates where dreads staying damp longer causes mold

in most cases dreads will dread that makes sence geneticly ..loose tips in straighter hao=ir blunt in kinky hair

all you should be doing is letting it do as it will naturally

let em loosen they will then tighten on their own..without being forced

really loose ends after washing.


Dread Maintenance

I'm about 4months into my second set of dreads. I started these with the twist and rip method. I am of mixed race (african american and white) so my hair is soft but moderately curly. After I wash them about 1-2.5 inches come out depending on the dread. Usually I do the twist and rip to tighten them back up and am wondering if this is bad for them or not? Sould i just leave them alone or should I continue to do this? I was washing them with the shampoo bar from "dreadlockshampoo.com" and am thinking about ordering the liquid stuff from them because it's better for newer dreads. Thanks for the help!

Baby Dreads. Extensions?


Introduce Yourself

I'm not sure. It was going to be real hair for sure, but not sure on straight or kinky. I may not even do it. Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't do that. It might put stress on your baby dreads. They're new and need time to get strong.

Maybe wear a tam for a while and ignore mirrors.When you look at them again they will have changed drastically and you might not want to have extensions.

At this moment I personally feel that extensions go against what I feel dreads are about. I might change my mind though when my hair shrinks up past my shoulders though. Who knows. I highly doubt it but stranger things have happened.

Out of curiosity what kind of extensions were you thinking?

Baby Dreads. Extensions?


Introduce Yourself

Hey everybody! Just made an account and would like to introduce myself and ask a quick question. I had dreads all throughout high school and got into a bit of trouble my first year of college and had to cut them off :*( I recently(Almost a month) started my new ones and they are SHORT! They barely reach the middle/bottom of my eyes and stick straight up. I was thinking about adding extensions then cutting the extensions out when my hair is where i want it to be. Any thoughts? Ideas? Is this a stupid idea or would it be alright to do? Thanks for taking the time to put your advice!
