Loose Roots

Dread Maintenance

i did a little bit of that with a particular dread that was givin me problems and the crochet didn't do anything for a root (it mostly seems to be effective towards tips and bodies) however it won't really help with causing new growth to dread *your more likely to just undo any currently dreaded growth*rubber bands didn't help either, after over 2months it was more or less just slightly dreaded, recently nowabout 3weeks after takin the bands off im seein it dread up on its own finally,how much length is in your loose roots at most? * i see your hairs kinda shorter to begin with, but I think in all honesty your dreads are looking good I think in some time you'll see more of that hair begin to dread, even my problem one had about 2+ inches of normal hair be4 it began to finally dread,anyway another suggestion for maybe future reference is you could try taking a small bead and placing it at the root, that could help as well,

dreads in a relationship..

Life Issues Facing Dreads

if they can accept it over time, then its a good thing, if not, and they absolutely hate them, In all honesty I'd break up with that person. I told my current girlfriend that before I started dreading, she was all for it, then months later she asked me, what If I said "NO, you can't do that!" I told her I'd immediately break up with her and move on,from my point of view it just saves me the time and foreshadows the nature of that person. be they a open mind or even respectful individual matters more to me than looks or action,

Dread Maintenance

It's true they fix themselves over time,however there are cases where I've been glad I used a crochet hook on some of my locks, only because of problems caused by other factors,however I do have alot of loose hairs on my roots, I don't care about those, mine were at the tips, and they looked very,, well only way to put it is bad.I did it for a few select ones on and those particular ones I'm glad I did.other than that I still agree it can be problematic if pursued as a solution to "Fix" locks.and when I did use it, the tips I used it on still had lots of loose hairs sticking out after awhile, but then it looked more acceptable to me, If I had pictures I'm sure you would agree with me.

Dread Maintenance

yeah rubber bands don't really seem to do much, it was a good idea to take them out, the ends will form in time, I used to have a plethora of curly tips and loops *still do have alot of loops though they are smaller, most of the giant ones I noticed at first have seemed to compress back within their dreads,but sounds like your gettin there, aloe plants can be a nice thing to invest in long term, plus they are useful plants all around. if

General Questions

haha, you remind me of someone I know, cept the dreadier version (w/e that means exactly)but yeah man, the roots will be among the last things you'll notice getting tighter for the most part,its going good though, looks like your thicker ones are coming along pretty fast,and further down the road it's highly likely your split hair could reform easily by not pulling those sections apart

Vegetarian, to be or not to be?

Dreads and Diets

if you work out, you probably take a whey protein or some other powder form of it yes?they do make those in vegatable/soy forms that are completely comparative content-wise to they whey ones,hemp in particular is high in protein, some also say fats, but they are high in omega fats which is a good kind,Pea protein is also pretty good, although lacking in certain amino acids, (if you end up getting it in powder form they usually add it though but I just meant pea's themselves).however I hear if you eat rice with that it corrects the protein balance with this,although I'd need more info to verify that.
