2 years TnR/neglet dreadlocks [July2014]
Member Journals and Timelines
Hi dreadlock community, it's been a long time since I've been here on the site and thought I share how my dreads are doing.
I first dreaded my hair using the twist and rip method (At this point I did not know I could have dreads naturally)
1st Day
This is 2 and a half months:
im tilting my head back in this one
This is about 5months in
In this time lapse I had my dreads "retouched" using the interlocking method(bad idea i know...) once but then, after learning the right facts about dreads, I decided to not "retouch" my dreads anymore and let them grow how they want.
I stopped taking personal photos of my hair so I dont have more of the process, but I went to an activity last week that they took photos and my hair was nicely taken a photo of, so here it is:

Right now I love my dreads more than ever, and it has been an amazing experience that will continue to reflect the changes in my life and the different stages I have gone through.
Any comments and questions are very welcome
Good vibes and good night.

Straight Hair Twist & Rip Dreadlocks 1Year
General Talk
My hair was about shoulder length and it did shrink a bit in the rebel stage, but now I feel them growing faster.
Yeah some blunted on their own, but I just let them do what they want 
Thank you! Good vibes.

Happy dreadaversary! Looking great. Have no sound on my computer, which sucks, so could not hear your commentary, sorry. What length was your hair when your began your journey? Just wondering how much shrinkage you had. I like the tips of yours, I also started with T&R and most of mine blunted on their own and I have fatter ends on many of them too. Awesome dreads, especially at 1 year....peace

How are my dreads doing?
General Talk
Apart from drying faster, why is it good that the ends are loose?

How are my dreads doing?
General Talk
wow thanks! did not expect this feedback.I don't know why they have progressed this fast... I sleep with apantyhose covering my dreads and wash every 3-4 days with dish soap (Ordered Dr. Bronners). Not sure if that has to do with it.
