i just shaved an hour ago because i wanna start over.

i did Backcombing+Crochet method when i started my dreadlocks. yeah they looked neat, but really they're just a bunch of stiff and REAL-tight hair.

i felt pain whenever i tried to move them, i felt Fake cause they're dead Stiff, so i SHAVED my head with joy! (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH).

who says you need hair to start growing dreadlocks?!!!

i wanna hear some great advices on how to conditoin my scalp and make my hair grow real fast and healthy.What shampoo to use (if it matters), Oils, Diet, ETC.

P.S.

attached are photos of me with a shaved head, and the other before i started my first set.

Thanks people!

Wow. I feel like you need a hug! So here's one for you along with a smile and my love >hugs!< You sound very tired and frustrated and I don't blame you. It must take an awful lot of time and energy to run this site and I am sure you don't hear enough thanks. But you know that there are a ton of people on here who do appreciate all your work, your kind words of encouragement, and your advice. So have yourself a nice hot cup of tea, sit back, relax, and know that you are indeed loved and appreciated and so is your site. Don't let the grumblers affect you, you know better anyway. You have helped too many people and have given a voice to so many others to allow a few idiots get you down. I don't generally post much, but this girl loves to log on everyday, poke around, and see if there is anything new to learn and I'm very glad you are here!

thats just the hair that would naturally fall out every day. it's not caused by anything, humans just shed hair, only ours is stuck in our dreads so we sometimes notice the little hair root when we're two inches away from the mirror. no big deal

if it really bothers you maybe you could use a sharpie?! hahaha i dunno, i doubt anyone notices.

if u only crochetted once im thinking 6 months but if u did it alot it can be a year

u can help it along tho theres tips in the crochet recovery group

I think one dude on here is like, a year or so into recovery and they're still going...

but I think if you want to loosen 'em up, there's a recipe on here for dread butter that looks amazing and I'd totally use it if my dreads were older.

it definitely could help!

yea, eversince i saw this site, i started to back off from these things - WAX and Locticians. LOL. if only i knew how, i shouldve done it myself with my One and a half foot long hair. but yea, my stupid sister did it (BWHHAHAHA) so now, i have extensions and my real dreaded hair was so tight and hard for a two-month-old dread (i guess) LOL.

Hi, im Toto, 22 yrs. old and an Engineering student here.

im SINGLE. LOL sorry xD.

i had dreads since Oct. 23, 2010. and i did Backcomb method. No, actually my Sister who never was a loctician and know zero about dreads did it xD . i have 22 Dreads, some i used extensions just so i can tie them up cause i still go to school, and are destined to be removed soon. i wish there wouldnt be a problem when i take those extensions off.

Anyways, i joined here cause really, i learned alot from here. and i kind of like the ambience here.

ummmm..,i guess thats all ^^
