Let's Get Personal


General Talk

I've looked at other peoples dreads for about the last 25 yearsand thought they looked wonderful but was never brave enough to let my own hair dread. I was always worried about not being able to get a job or losing my hair if I didnt like them.Things changed for me in May last year when my partner of 15 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer. By the time they had diagnosed it had spread throughout his body. He was so very brave even though he was in terrible pain most of the time. His only concern about dying was about leaving our little boy without his dad. He died in July last year and as you can imagine my world was turned upside down. It made me really look at my own time on this earth and made me realise that living in the moment is truly the only way to cope and try to be happy..so I have started the dread journey and I am loving it. For me it is also part of a healing process and makes me feel connected to ..everything..which in turn makes me feel connected to my lovely man. Sorry, it might all sound corny but its how it is for me. :)

Trying to find a middle ground with husband


General Questions

Hi, I'm 45 and just starting my dreads. Why does your husband care what you do with your hair? What is he worried about. I think you should just do what you want to do, if he loves you he will be happy if you are happy :) Good luck whatever your decision turns out to be!

If they are under half an inch is that too small ?I think I read somewhere that the roots would not be strong enough to support the dread?

I am seeing whatyou mean about hair thickness Heather.The hair at the sides of my head above my ears is fine. The sections there are about the same as your triangular ones but the hair bundles are tiny

What would be a good average size would you say?

and is it correct that under 0.5" is too small... unraveling some as we speak...good job I realised this before they actually started dreading..backcombing was loose too.

General Questions

Hi, Im nearly 2 weeks in after starting by backcombing. My section sizes are all different and range between 0.5" and 1". My question is...will the sections that are 1" x 1" make reall big dreads. I don't want super fat ones...I want small to average..if you know what I mean. They are not all square..some are 1" x 3/4" etc. I want dreads with character but not big fatties...

please help...damage from backcombing


Help! Save My Dreads

Hi, sorry I posted this before but dont know where it went.. I am really freaking out. I backcombed to start my dreads with the help of a couple of friends. One of them used a very fine toothed lice comb on some of them. I started worrying abput damage so unraveled part of a section from w 2 different sides. The sidethat was done with the fine comb has quite a lot of broken hairs. Does this mean my dreads are going to drop off in a few years....I feel sick with the worry. This was supposed to be a wonderful cathartic thing to help me deal with grief...my husband died last year....sorry, I know that is irrelavant to my hair but im just explaining how bad I feel. :(
