on the knotty boy website they have a FAQ saying something like, "i cut open my one of my dreads and it was full of some nasty smelly sludge, is this normal?" and the response was, "of course this is normal. it doesnt matter whats on the insides of dreads just as long as the outside looks okay." WTF

Now i am afraid about how big it wil be!!But, i can try.. If i dont like, i can cut it all, again, and for the 3rd time, try once more! But, if it happens, it will be natural ones or i will be more genttle to my dreads and make the sectioning the right way.Thanks!! soaringeagle said:

nah not rude i felt i was being too blunt and might sound rude too

well

i would condition them a good bit to loosen them up alot that will help those huge ones get huge and close the gap but ..they will be big..really bog
if u dont mind then start encouraging them to loosen up so they can properly dread

so condition them fairly heavily next few washes and see how much they loosen up then when theyre soft loose and fatter just leave them alone
they ook painfully tight

lol!!Maybe i should!!About fat dreads, i really dont care if they become fat and stiff, i think it is a style, and i like it too. The scratchy part i am getting used to it, also! It feels better now, 3 weeks later!What really concerns me, is the fact that i didnt make the section uniform... Leaving that strange gap at the back of my head.And i think that the firsts dreads i made really got some bigger damage, because i didnt know what was going to happen!! The last ones were made more carefully!And... I only really drank in the first day, when i did about 5 dreads, from the front of my head!Comb them out isnt an option now... i am really out of time studying, working and making what we call here P.F.C(Graduation Final Project). I really consumes a looooooooot of time...If i let my hair grow, and then never use my crochet hook again, is there a chance for it to become better? If for the rest of my life, everything in my dreads be natural and not forced!Thanks for ur reply!! Btw! Nice dreads!!(Sorry if something looks like i am being rude or unpolite, its the lack of practises) soaringeagle said:

umm...well now i looked at the pics
umm.. u may not agree but ..maybe u should keep em that way as a constant reminder of the dangers of alcohol

Dread problems

Dread Maintenance

Hi!!I have read some posts about lopsided roots and other stuffs... But i cant find any problem like mine.So, lets begin.I'd made a deal with my GF that in her graduation i would cut my hair or dreadlock it... The graduation ball was in a Saturday. In Friday, I decided that i couldnt let my dream to dreadlock slip away, like i did in the past.I started to make the dreads by myself using a crochet hook. Took me 15 hours to finish, a lot of beer and I got late to my GF graduation party...But.... Since I did it by myself, and my time was ending, my root sections got REALLY BIG and most of the locks does not start at the center of the sections.I have now only 16 dreads. And a gap in the middle back of my head...See the picture to have an ideia on how weird it is....There are another pics at my profile page!!Is there a way to fix it?Sorry for my bad English... I am brazillian, and I just need to practise my English

UPDATE! UPDATE!

so I went to my headmaster, said all I needed to say. gave examples. etc.
the two reasons I got?
"dreadlocks don't look natural on white people"
"the public will see badly of our school and won't want to send their children here."

well dam your school doesnt teach students, they only teach the students. (as in the ones they only care about) and i find it a racial comment on that dreadlocks dont look natural on a "white" skin color. well man instead of encouraging something positive and accpeting their students who have an idea of freedom be, they encourage blindness, stand up and just walk in with them dreads because NO ONE has the autority to limit your self to finding yourself.

If it were at Brazil, i would go to the court!! This is prejudice!!! I am a University student and I have a job too. We, the people who have dreads here, feel the prejudice in the air, but no one, who dont have dreads say, nothing!!At my job people actually are getting used with the ideia, and some of them had dreads in the past!!!!So, dont give up!!(Again, sorry for my bad english... I am trying to improove my skills!! )
