General Talk

What rlly matters is that YOU are happy. Explain to your husband how happyd this makes yoy, and how this is a true journey for your mind and soul. Maybe show him some pics of the beautiful dreads on this site my family gavw me the same looks, but because i showwd them how happy and free i was bwcausw of my locking, thwy grew to acxept them. My mom even makes all of my dread tams now . Mature locks take time, and so will his acceptance. Just be patient, and your husband will embrce your beauty just as you do . I hope this helped :-/

Dreading Methods

This is awesome! If i'd read this a yr ago i would never have backcombed. This was the problem i was having. I have a few small locs tjat do this at the top. I also had a big loc do so, and i had to split it. Now they're all doing very well! Thanl SE for all of your wisdom. Namaste

Not a loop...literally a hole in my dread. Just at the root...thats why im so scared. The base of the dread is hangin on, i just dont want it to get wprse and fall out! If you could see it (mu camera is broken) it would lookike a healthy dread: round and firm, it just has a hole that looks like an arcch near the base almost splitting the dread in 2. Ive been babying my locks for quite a while now becausw i backcombed my locs in. But this still happened!

i'm worried :(

Help! Save My Dreads

ok...so i have a dread that has an arch at the base...like, it's super thick and knappy until you get to the root, where there is an arch shape that reaches down to my head i can stick my finger through it...so i don't know if it's something to worry about, or just something that will fix itself in time...please let me know what you think. i've had my dreads for almost a year now, and i'd hate to have it fall out of my head or something drastic! has anyone else had this problem? if anyone has advice, please let me know
