Iām back! Second set after 3 years not natty
Introduce Yourself
Well itās been a few years. Ā But Iām back! Back when I started my dread journey I was lucky enough to have found this site before I destroyed my hair. Ā I had my first set for over 2 years when one day I just started combing them out. Ā Idk why. Ā It just felt right. Ā When I started my first set I hated my hair. Maybe thatās why I wanted or needed dreads. Ā But right now I love my hair. And I feel itās time to give my hair what it wants n let it dread again. Ā So here I am. Ā Starting round 2 of my dread journey. Ā And Iām still thankful to this site and itās members for all the great info posted here. Ā And Iām sooo happy to be dreadful again. š
Loose hair and flat roots
Dread Maintenance
Oh. And a bead on a flat spot helped a few flat spots I had. Donāt worry about em too much. Like SE said they will be fine. If you do use beads remember to move them often n donāt just leave em in the same spot.
Loose hair and flat roots
Dread Maintenance
Iāve heard some people say that aloe will help with those whispy hairs on ur scalp. With all that maintenance youāve had done it makes yours more noticeable. I use pure cocoa butter on mine after Shampoo when the fly always are out of control. It works for me by softening the hairs n gravity pulls em down a little. Stop getting the maintenance n ur dreads will loosen up enough so the short hairs have a place to go. š
Wrapping yarn around baby dreads that are insanely loose?
Dread Maintenance
My experience with wrapping those tiny dreads is that they tend to bubble out of the open spots in the wrap. Then those bubble loops tangle. And then ur stuck cutting tiny bits of yarn or whatever string out of em. So I wouldnāt wrap it. Just really slows it down. Itās getting loose now but will either knot up really snug later or migrate into another dread for a new home. But yea. Wrapping super thin ones didnāt work for me.
Vicki's Dreadlock Shampoo
Dread Products
I absolutely ADORE this shampoo. The liquid is my favorite. Used it with my first set of dreads. I tried many brands and this was by far superior! I love the dragons blood and nagchampa. š just started a new set and and looking forward to getting more dreadlockshampoo ASAP ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
