.. then where is the patience that it takes to let them start on their own??
it is often so not the patience but the not knowing part, i also spent so many hours in backcombing and croching, and i done for free with a lot of love, as i thought that this was a natural way, i was such sure, because such common here, that it never came up to look at google
til the moment i noticed that my dreads are getting such thin, i knew something was wrong, took me stil a while till i asked meself that question, and at that moment SE came into my life with this dreadforum, seeeen
it was always clear to me that by much and curly hair it goes natural, but yes by my kind of hair such style that i acutally never had to use a comb anyway, seeen, i thought, that for dreads you have to help the nature
i cannot change the past, as i felt such unhappy that i backcombed and croched so many of my friends, but i can change the future, so that is why this forum and all of us is such important to reach and to pass on the right knowledge to those who wanting to become a dread
well now as a new sister to this , i must say that i think it is unfair to say that because we have so many questions we are treating this as a fad, some of us are just unsure of how to start and maintain healthy dreads. i for one, after 3 people took 12 and a half hours to do my dreads, really don't want to fuck them up!!!! i thought very long and even harder before committing my life to my hair and i want to learn all i can! i think it is great that i can turn to a site like this where i will find folks that have made it through the "fuzzies" and such:)

Jelly said:wow, what a bunch of impatient folk. If you want it done quick and neat go to a freakin' salon. Dreads takes MONTHS to YEARS to cultivate. i had fuzzies, too. Now they are getting long enough to start forming their own dreads- three years later. the more you "add" stuff and fuck with them the weaker they'll be and the longer it will take before you start locking your hair. You can mat it up with goop, crochetting, or rolling, but dreads grow from the roots. matted hair ain't dreadlocks in my book. dreads are the growth AFTER you mat, knot, tangle, braid, twist, or roll your hair.
but to each their own. so many ppl treat this like a fad.
