Girlies with short dreads! I need some styling tips.

General Talk

Thanks also when you say fabric dread bands, do you mean synthetics dreads? I have a ton of those but they don't match my new hair color so they look super fake when in

When I first got mine I pretty much lived in fabric "dread" bands. Seriously, I have a plastic bag full of them of every colour/pattern etc! When they got long enough to put up in 2 pig tails I was mega excited. Now I just keep a massive hair bobble on my wrist and it changes at least 5 times a day depending on what I'm doing!

Enjoy the progression from "too short" to the fun length, I love them even more when I find something new to do with them

Okay I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 8 months xD Thanks for your help!

okay, I guess I'll just have to do that. Also I've been looking around on here trying to figure out an estimate on when my hair will stop shrinking, what's the usual time it takes for that? Mine are almost 6 months right now and it probably just started shrinking within the past 2 months and I've probably lost a good 5 inches so far.

My dreads aren't even touching my shoulders and I just can't figure out what to do with them. I used to wear synthetic dreadlocks but I'm sick of them. So what do you all do for styling? I don't really like the look of them down on me so what are some cute up dos that you guys do?

Thanks for any advice!

Crocheting hairs back into the dread?

Dread Maintenance

well as long as you can get some that match your hair color and if you tuck them in a bit I'm sure you won't need too many. Also I think it was a waste of time. Like the way I did it was grab a chunk of loose hair, wrap it around the needle and stick it through the dread then just do that over and over again. And they all fell out shortly after and then ones that didn't come out I don't think ever will which worries me in the long run.

I did crocheting once to my dreads when they were younger and it took forever to do. If you go to an interview are you going to pull your hair back? Maybe you could use some bobby pins to kinda pull the loose hairs back. That's what I did for mine.

Dreading my ladies hair

Dreading Methods

I have fine hair and i do tnr and started with back combing sections. I think I mentioned this on another forum before, but before I even started backcombing i used a crimper on my hair to fluff it up a bit and it helped a lot.

What is the average amount of dreadlocks for thin hair?

General Talk

Thanks for all of the replies guys! Hmmm maybe I'll let a few congo and see what happens.

Yeah I'm worried about showing too much scalp too. Some of the ones in the back are looking pretty nice but all the ones in the front that I made out of my bangs are super small. I'm thinking about maybe grabbing like two of them and doing a hair wrap around the two and hopefully form it into one. If it works I might do it to a few more. I just wish I had thick hair

My hair is very thin and I think I have about 70 small ones but I'm just not sure how much I like them. I kind of wish I had less and have bigger ones but I'm not sure if it would look goofy or not O.o

So I'm just curious how many other people have!
