Thanks so much guys this really helped i was TnRing throughout each day wanting em to look better cause i was frantic at the looseness of the dreadlocks after sleeping or having intense amounts of wind.
Only had my dreads for a week and heres how it went: First night i dreaded up by doing the twist and rip method. That worked pretty well for my curly hair then i kept rubber bands in for about 2 or 3 days, took those out and now have just been doing the twist and rip routine to each dread everyday and some palm rolling/back combing to keep the hairs in but i can sorta feel the dreads getting thinner but they do look better. Any recommendations or tips i could use? Short or long term? Thank you, help is appreciated. Also i've washed them once since day one.
Thanks for the warm welcome you guys (:
And yea soaring eagle i tended to be the youngest kid at the psychedelic shows i went to haha [:
The name's Spencer, just starting my dread journey now almost 2 weeks into it. I've always been incredibly spiritual throughout my life and always looked up to people with glorious dreads. I won't ever forget the first time i really learned about dreads at a psychedelic rock show when i was around 12 and i had never seen a hairstyle so intriguing. I asked the dreaded man about his locks and he described his journey and how his dreads are like roots in his mind connecting him to the world spiritually and i was blown away. Ever since then i've always wanted to dread my hair and now ive started my new journey. Hope to meet some interesting people here and maybe have my many questions about dreads answered. I tried to find a documentary on dreadlocks but no luck.
Peace and pot guys <3
