aqny actual locks yet? looking close
well if u see thast much progress in 3 days u might wanna update twice a week
aqll hair dreads if ypou stop combing some fast some slow oilinesss slows it more then thinness or straighteness
just stop combing stop condiotioning and let ot dread
mechanics jave u ever combed out a tangle? once u got 1 tangle another piles up ontoop of it and wnother and soon u got dreads
sinmple
can u take a pic if your going by feel not looks the roots can feel like theres nothing there if its undreaded and not firm to sqyueeze it
just like when u dread your helmests dont fit cause the dreads are thicvker less compressable then undreaded hair
u can pinch the roots of your thickest dreads and your fingers will meet cause theres nothing firm and compacted to prevent it
simple stop touching them do a sea salt spray they are plenty long enough to dread on their own if u stop messing with em and give em a lil encouragement with sea salt
also backcomb permenantly damages the cuticles tnr is much more gentle to the hair
your doing fine and on the right track so just stick it out
nope its fine actualy backcomb tends ti=o unravel more then tnr so u may need to be lil more delicate with backcombed dreads the way u did it is better so less likely to fall out
ask her why ppl have dreads thast nevrr backcombed never wrapped em up at night never did a thing
you dont gottas redo em u never had to do em at all
im betting she used wax too?
how did u lather thats the point u want to gently scrub just the scalp with fingertips careful to not rub or lather the length of the hair just rinse it thru the hair you only wanna focus on the scalp..nothing else
