How do they look? (done like 5 mins ago)
Shortest one was an experiment i did that one without backcombing and with palm rolling only, it came out but didn't like the look and today i crocheted it (hope i didn't mess it out)
any advice on how to section them overhead where i can't see? I wanna use the natural lock of my hair to do the dread so they look as natural as possible
This is my second set. First set I had for three years. Hoping to pass that by ten more years at least.
Recommendations in regards to swimming with dreads? Overall, like to limit the level of frizz and just maybe try to keep them together a little bit better. I have tried swimming caps and silicone swim caps and they just don’t seem to work somehow water always ends up getting into the cap.
Thank you in advance!
No, it didn't hurt. Will be fresh for 6 - 8 weeks.
Had locks previously for 6 years and have just started again two weeks ago, had a friend do them and they're sectiond terribly any advice on how to get them to look better and lock up properly?
I had my locs crotched in about 6 months ago. If I stop getting my roots crotched, will they start to loc by themselves? Is that a legit option or am I likely to get into a massive mess?
As you can see from my loose ends, my hair is naturally curly so might lock by itself a little easier? Idk - I just don’t have the budget to keep seeing my loctitian, and I find it really hard/ impossible to do my own roots.
Who else here has tried free form after crocheting? Please share pics/ advice!
Many thanks.
So previously, i have put in my own dreads using the twist and rip (im abbreviating to TnR) method and i dont prefer to use products. I asked a hairdresser friend of mine to do a new "install" now that my hair is long enough; it is her first time doing it without product and without extensions. I instructed her how to do the TnR method and she also did some backcombing.
My concern is that the beginning of a knot is around midshaft for strands where i have longer hair. So i have close to 1"-2" of backcombed hair that wasnt TnR, but it seems relatively nicely sectioned.
When i have done this myself, there was way less space between the initial knotting and my scalp.
My question is, will this cause an issue with everything getting tangled into one large matte? Is there something i should do semi-regularly to keep it from happening? Should i try to rework the strands that are super loose? I am aware as time goes on they are going to untangle slightly as they work to naturally lock up and i know this product free method may get frizzy and somewhat unsightly. I plan to go to her periodically for root touch up and separating, but im not sure how often might be advisable. I really wanted this set to grow into nice looking dreads as time goes on, but im worried the roots are going to be a bigger issue and hassle than before.
Im rambling, but any advice would be appreciated. Also, if anyone started out like this, i wouldn't mind seeing your progression pics. Thank you guys so much!
How are you all going about dying and or bleaching? My son wants blue and I’m terrified to bleach his dreads.
