Dreading Methods
I don't think it is due to the rubberbands, dear.
I think there are a few different reasons:
1. My hair is thin, light, Scandinavian and very straight - It is not made for having dreadlocks in any way. When I had normal hair, I didn't need to brush it - it would keep , fine and undreaded itself, so straight and delicate it is.
2. I never used any products at all. I don't wash, I don't use crotchet needles. Of course no wax or other disgusting things. This is my second(or third) time using rubberbands, and I normally wear them for 2-4 weeks(So that is 9 weeks out of 130 weeks) - Meaning that I never do anything to keep them, and they totally take care of themselves.
3. I brushed up the tips. They used to be all dreaded, but I like them better loose. I also pick out some of the loose hair, since I like it, and think it suits be way better than those hard-ass thick waxy things, a lot of people carries around.
4. Many of them have been taken apart a few times, both to separate dreads I found to thick, but also to clean them and show people how to dread. Also if I'm bored.
So, being Caucasian, white-skinned, blondie-princesshaired, I think that they are doing pretty good. And I love them, and don't want them to look anything else than this.
