9 MONTH UPDATE! Crochet ALL NATURAL!
Dread Maintenance
Allo everybody, it's been awhile since I last did an update about my dreadlocks . So far, I'm really enjoying how it's coming along. It's so crazy and unique haha. Every single dread feels and looks different. I love it!
Started dreads with crochet hook and haven't touch it since. No maintenance whatsoever. Just a weekly wash, and the ocean water 2 times a week.
Alright onto the pics!
Also, I was thinking about using some Aloe Vera. What you think?

Four months of dreadlocks. Crochet Recovery
Dread Maintenance
Alright, just reached my four month marked and I'm loving my dreads but I hate the loose hair that's sticking out of my dread. It's been like this for awhile now. So for the people that don't know who I am, I started my dreads off with the crochet method then switched to 100% natural till now. Just baking soda/ACV wash and beach every other day
Here are pics of the loose hair that I'm talking about. I don't mind them when my hair is tied back, but when I look at them closely, i love/hate it... haha
Should I leave them alone, or can i trim them out? Cause I really don't think they're gonna come together with the dreadlocks. My hair is super straight!
I would really appreciate some advice from other crochet users and please tell me the secret to what you did? I don't mind crocheting them back in.
Also, don't mind the sand that stuck in my head. I had a crazy wipe out from bodyboarding the other week and since then I've been a sand head. haha

My one month update! Loose hair is driving me nuts

the loose hair doesn't really bothering me. just a little worried if it's normal to be the way they are right now. i usually wear a headband to keep in style since i'm not able to tie them back yet, but i'm still loving my dreads. it just feels soo cool and it's very different from my previous hair styles...as for the crochet hook, i don't ever plan on using it since i don't want to maintain them every so often. it's too very time consuming for me, and after reading the information i found on this site i'm glad i didn't maintain them since it damages your hair and it wont mature properly.NaturalWomyn - negative, i started them off with a crochet hook then did zero maintenance after that. just the baking soda/acv wash every 2-4 days.thanks everyone for the feedback! keep em coming.

What's up guys,Just reached my one month of having dreadlocks yesterday, and so far it's looking good. just the loose hair is bothering me on some day, well not really although their are times i just want to grab my crochet and maintain it lolAlso my hair is really straight and thick. I have done zero maintenance since day 1 and I pretty much let them do whatever they want. I hope I am doing it right. any tips for the loose hair sticking out?
