Roots?

Dread Maintenance

O.O Wow, people here are really helpful. I wasn't expecting such a response so fast. Usually when I post things on the internet I expect for it to go ignored or unnoticed for a few days before I get an unenthusiastic spattering of response. This is fantastic! And, point taken *nod* I shall endeavor to get over the funky feeling of having loose roots and do absolutely nothing. (I will admit to being kind of a tight-ass though. Starting dreads was probably more therapeutic than I anticipated. See this? They're already teaching me to stop trying to control everything.)Thanks guys.

Roots?

Dread Maintenance

I seriously need a different method for knotting up my roots. The whole "clockwise rubbing" thing works, but it *hurts*. I have a pretty sensitive scalp, and for the whole thing to just *ache* after knotting up my roots kinda' makes me not want to do it anymore -- except that I can feel it when the roots start to grow out and it's a really funky sensation. So if anyone has any other methods they'd like to share, I'd really appreciate it.
