Your job and your dreads

General Questions

So I have only had my dreads for alittle over a month now and they are already causing problems. At first before the dreads I was working 40 hours a week normal, but after I got my dreads I got cut back too 16 hours, and thats just not going to work for me. So I was wondering if any one else has had this is problem, because it really bothers me that people judge others like that.

No but I only put one rubberband at the end of the dread and not at the root. ratcakie said:

I backcombed mine 7 weeks ago, didnt use rubber bands at all and they seem to be doing very well, so id say take em out as they dont do much at all. Just remmember to keep em clean and rip/seperate often( like once or twice a week) the wetter the better when ripping, as hair is more elastic when wet...Just out of curiosity... are you starting to get alot of loops with the bands in?
