So recently my dreads have gotten really nice and tight no worries about them coming out, so my family starting making me beads for my dreads! I thought it was really cool not only because i had beads now in my dreads but because they were made by my family! if you put to many beads in it doesnt look very good but thats my thought. i recently started using shampoo and mixing alittle bit of the bar soap then washing and rinsing really well, but when i dryed my locks i dry them really well im so scared of mold and the nasty smell but of course i wash my hair ever single day. some poeple say there dreads are knotting up and connecting to other dreads? mine do too but they seperate on there own i do not touch my hair i like the all natrual look better and watching the progress of it (:
