How i started my dreads
1st attempt** i started twisting my hair with cheap 1$ clear gel u can find at family dollar and some Lets Jam Extra hold ( the orange label one ). I did the finger coil method which didnt look much like fingercoils. Took them down in 3 days cuz of unravelling made me mad. Random sectioning.
2nd attempt** i had a friend do them for me using L.A. Looks Sports gel it was blue ( they told me it was mexican gel ) but my hair was stickyyy so i called a diff friend who told me to wash it out and she'd do it. Square/Brick sectioning
3rd attempt [current]** That diff friend started them with Organic Root Stimulator Lock & Twist and the comb coil method. And i can say i like it, just got them today 2/23/13 I read alot on here and googled alot and i know some say dont use but i like the results. Square sectioned
One thing that the internet has done for me is scare me away from beeswax, so if this gel isnt as bad as that its okay to me. I will update on my locking success or fail stories as i see changes. I thank you all for your help even if you feel i didnt take heed of your advice. Im black btw for future readers
thx and yes i keep looking in the mirror, now for some reason i feel time will past by slow. Now i just have to learn to not think abt them because i know as soon i see new growth and frizz , i see frustration and temptation
Happy you like your dreads finally, as they say...third times a charm
