Back Combing and Palm Rolling

Dreading Methods

You got the right idea! They will be *beautiful*!! Bella Liston said:

Ohhh.... That is a relief. I was beginning to think I really started off wrong.... Some are tigher that others and a few are barely staying together.

I'm just going to let them rest and do their thing....

Back Combing and Palm Rolling

Dreading Methods

They will be fine in time. They may untangle, they may not. It depends on how tight u backcombed(hopefully not too tight??). Did u use wax or not? If so read up on what to do to remove it. If not Just make sure u leave them alone from now on. Don't re-backcomb that would cause a lot of damage. Right now what you have is an outline of where your dreads will eventually be. Don't worry or stress they will be fine if you just let them be! Many Blessings

washing....

General Talk

I think it's mostly your preference. I do use and recommend the tea tree cause it helps with the itchies and dandruff that can come along with dreads. Also helps prevent mold. Liquid or bar is up to you! You're on the right track, let us know if you have any more questions! *love* Shuaib ahmed said:

Time will help you get dreads. Non residue shampoo will keep icky residues from building up in your hair over time. Try and get used to the frizz it's probably not goin away any time soon! and Wash Your Hair! Oily hair will dread slower, clean hair dreads faster. Good Luck & Much Love

dreads and stereotypes

Life Issues Facing Dreads

I figured that's what u meant but i had to chime in with ma 2 cents just in case! Much Love!!! Metalhead Fred said:

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with following bands around, it sounds like a lot of fun!

What I meant was, that particular film seems to give off the image that most dreadheads are wasters who have little or no ambition. This thread is proving otherwise :o)

hey now! i spent a good amount of time in my life "following bands around" and got to see 48 states, meet the most amazing people/phamily I've ever known and experience the beauty of life in an eye opening way! Hubby and I are taking our kids for a little 2 week taste this summer even. So don't knock it till ya try it! Stereotypes suck. Much Love & Many Blessings

I have a college degree, but due to the state of my countries' economy and the small shit hole town that I live in, I'm currently unemployed. I make a small bit of money repairing laptops/video games consoles.

If you want to see a true stereotype, check out the film "Dreadheads, A Portrait of a Subculture". Almost every person they interview comes across as a moron who has nothing better to do other than get wasted and follow bands around. Plenty of "labels" for you there.

Introduce Yourself

you gotta be you and you speak truth! So don't worry if people don't like what u say they don't have to read it. I happen to appreciate your straight forwardness. GreyGargoyle said:

=D lol. If someone had put it so straight forward for me three years ago I would have dreads by now. But I'm just starting my journey because I had to do so much research. I know that the way I tell it is not the best but for people like me it really works. :P

Let me just put it this way in a very honest, blunt and direct manner...

Natural=Balls.
Other methods=No balls.

Good luck.

What method of dreading is this?

Dreading Methods

I vote possible T & R they are pretty thin. I think hair texture has a lot to do with it. It could be natural too. As far as T & R and natural/neglect being the same thing...nope. It's not only about the destination it's the journey that gets you there. Just because the end result looks similar doesn't mean it's the same thing for everybody. I'm not dogging T & R.It's just another type of starter method like backcombing. IMHO that's put's it in a different category.We all need to decide what's right for ourselves and I'm not saying choosing either makes you better or worse it's just different. As long as we are happy with our own choice that's what really counts. :o)
