i grabbed the hair randomly as it had naturally sectioned. i had about 65 but now i think i'm down to about twenty because the majority of them fell out completely. not surprising though because my hair is so darn soft. i'm just going to leave them alone and see what happens now. i'll take pics soon:)

Oh, Heather ... I'm so excited to see what a little help might do for you! I hope you're feeling great about your decision! Nothing wrong with helping nature here and there, right?You've been pretty darn patient, for sure! If you're already seeing loops and such, it seems like a good sign that you made a great choice!!! Please do post some pics so we can see the progress!!!! How many sections did you end up with?
Heather said:well, i haven't really announced it on here but i kind of helped my hair along a little backcombing and t&r. almost 4 months of waiting for my hair to dread and it really wasn't doing anything. we'll see how it goes now. its only been a week and a half and already some of the sections are looping. crazy.
Dolly said:You're so sweet, Heather!! Thanks! I guess we'll see, right?

thanks dolly! yes, definitely change is happening. not exactly as quickly as i had hoped but at least its something. i have one small knot at the back by the nape of my neck which my kids think is pitiful but it makes me so excited. i wish my hair was thick like yours.

Hey, Heather!!! I was looking at your page and it sounds like things are starting to move for you!! That's awesome!! I have a feeling once your hair gets rolling it's going to take off fast!!! Really fast!! It sure is a funny process, isn't it?

1 year and still no dreads
Help! Save My Dreads
my profile pic was the day i backcombed them in september. i ultimately ended up removing that set because the sectioning was terrible. so i decided to go natural. i thought my wavy hair would lock up quick but that hasn't happened. i know how you feel because i see all these people on here with 4-5 month dreadies and mine look nothing like theirs. it frustrating but i guess we all have different hair and so we all will have different outcomes on our journey. i still have hope that one day my hair will cooperate and knot. what i need to do is stop looking at everyone's timeline pics because it just makes me depressed. check out my other pics on my page to see what my hair looks like now.

i can't use maylees or dr. bronners because of the hard water in our area. it makes it impossible to rinse completely. it leaves a waxy, sticky feeling in my hair especially near my scalp. maybe your having the same problem.
