Dread Maintenance

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa7/jpjessie102/meeeeeeeeee.jpg That's the only semi decent picture of me I have right now.Tomorrow I'll get some that aren't meant for Facebook lolI had crazy thin and fine fair.Yet I made, 35 or 36 dreads, some with decent thickness to them already.Can't wait till my beads get here.They are starting to relax finally or, I need to wash them. One of the two.Soon as I fix the tips. I'll be very happy with them for their age!

some new dread questions

Dread Maintenance

I think the bumps are from when I made them, I think I did more ripping in some areas, I have like three weird small dreads.It'll be like normal straight hair, then a big knot, then semi knotty then loose. It drives me crazy they don't feel like my others.My other one problem, I have on dream that when I made, I pulled it one direction while making it.On one side on the dread root its tight, the other side of the dread its loose. This dread likes to stand straight up. As my roots grow, will this stop?So I can wrap baby dreads? I won't wear it in forever. Maybe two weeks, then take it out for awhile?

my dreads are a week old today .i noiced when i made them (took 3 days ) that they are kinda bumpy .its just the way they turned out i guess . they were made by twist and rip,but i had to back comb the hair slightly or the twist and rip wouldnt hold .will the dumps even out ?i assume so, but it just really bugs me. and i just want to palm roll the heck out of it.i just got 40 dollars worth of beads, and i really want to wrap a few but i heard thats bad for new breads. so im waiting.also ,my ends are really weird and are blunt , can i just comb them out a little ?ill be posting in this thread with any other questions that pop up .thank you !

I'd take them out while I sleep and such. I'd just like to decorate them soon as I get then.Do the dread wraps screw up baby dreads?

Awesome thank you that helped.When they come undone, can I atleast separate them, to keep them from knotting to other dreads?Can I wear beads in new dreads? I know rubber bands are bad.I have a good feeling mine won't come super undone. Since my hair knots like CRAZY. I'd go natural, but I want more control.

So my mom agreed we will do my dreads, even if my dad doesn't like them, she says it's my hair and if it makes me happy. We will do it.She will be helping me with the twist and rip method.I've seen a lot of people complain they look like braids. How can I avoid this.I've watched alot of videos on it and it still confuses me.Any advice? I'm so excited!

Guess im gonna have to look a little ratty for awhile!
Haha thats fine.

Awesome thanks!

We have a bunch of kids in my school who had neat perfect dreads, though ive never seen a black kid with nappy dreads.

Ill look like the crazy white kid doing it wrong.
Whatever, im out of there soon! I just want them perfectly imperfect .

I liked the link. It is true .

I have another question or two.

I was told i have a dry scalp, will these washes help ?


And if i do choose TnR, how do i section hair? I know , dumb. But i feel like i could be semi hard to do.

Do you just grab the amount of hair you want and start from there ? Or make One inch squares and such ?
