single minded people not understanding my dreads :/

Life Issues Facing Dreads

I know what you mean, its a real pain dealing with kids at school who only know salon dreads. I don't sweat it though, because they're gonna have their foot in their mouths when my dreads mature.

haha yeah I should its like 3 or 4 inches across and like 2 or three down, its a bit oblong, so it will most likely be split. I don't know though, maybe I'll want a big ol' dread!

yrsh that's what I was planning on doing just in case they're a little to thick. I will probably end up doing that because I'm a bit "scalpy" around the large sections.

Hello,

well I started my dreads with backcomb and crochet ( i know ) and I haven't crochet since the start. Now I have 30 dreads and they're all about pinky or ring finger size, with a few exceptions. I've heard that once my dreads recover from the crochet, they will fatten up a lot. Is this true?

well she did this way of needle work that made my dread look all weaved or woven, becuase when i did it they looked fine. this also made them very thin. then she twisted them, and I'm a white guy so that didnt turn out nicely either.

alright, my dreads looked great (for my 14 day mark) and i liked them, i did the crochet and backcomb method. they had alot of loose hair but that is guaranteed on the method i used. so i thought it would be a good idea to go see a locktitian. ell my dread are now ruined, and ive been in the process of combing them out. ive lot so much hair though, and my hair i really thin and frizzy now. i dont know if redoing them will kill all of my hair off of my head. i learned my lesson the hard way, but i would still love dread. should i just rodo them? im at the end of my rope here
