About to throw in the towel :(
Help! Save My Dreads
Asalaamu alaikum, ( I am muslima)I've been working on them for the past couple of hours. Believe it or not, iwhen I was going thru them they weren't as bad as I thought it'd be. I thought they were 2 far gone but their pretty much all out & now I hafta start the palm rolling. But I have 1 question. Since my hair is straight as a board they feel pretty loose at the roots. How can I keep them tight & dreading? I've got them ripped, now I need my babies to keep on dreading! Thx 4 ur help:)
ugh! Ok, so, then I'm gonna saturate my roots and the hairs that are keeping the dreads together which is forming the unidread(s) with the conditioner. Between the 2 dreads forming a unidread I'm gonna take my thumb & index finger with a healthy helping of conditioner and pull up as to coat the hair stuck in either dread. I'm gonna keep pulling up trying to release a few hairs at a time until their freed (& and do as many as I can bc my arms get tired bc no1 will help me! :/). Then I'll get thru as many as I can then when I'm done, I'm gonna wash it twiec with Rosemary & Mint 2 insure conditioner is out, seperate again while wet by taking the dreads, pulling them apart (bc we sure as hell don't want them to get tangled up again). Then I'm gonna palm roll from root to tip, air dry, then palm roll again. Sorry for the long post but I've been pondering this situation for a while. Good luck! Gonna keep my fingers crossed!
