Welcome. Hopefully after 5 years you don't have bands in them any more. They should never have been used in the first place, but if you're lucky none of them were eaten by your locks. They tend to snap and get swallowed up by a lock, where they dry rot and grow mold inside.
Be patient with it! You'll have days where you hate your hair and think you look like a mess, and others where you love it. But its going to take around two years at least if you have straight hair and are going natural. good luck! im sure you'll look great!
Welcome. But never use rubber bands on your locks. All you need to do to keep them from growing too big is pull them apart when they start to mat together.
Welcome Skye. The next best dreads to going completely natural is the twist & rip method. The technique is posted on the site, and if you use this method, do not do them tightly, nor ever retwist them. There are also videos showing how to do them. Ask a friend to help, or do it yourself over a few days.
This will give you sections which will look better for your employer. After reading this site, you will make the best decision for you. Any questions, just ask and many people here to help.
However you choose, all you need to do after that is wash them 2-3 times a week and separate the sections so that they do not join together. That's it!!! Peace
That's perfect advice, especially considering it's how I genuinely feel about it. I haven't brushed my hair today, so I figure today is as good of a day as any to start!
Thank you for the much needed guidance, and giving me the little push I needed to choose such a natural option.
