r/Dreadlocks

im 10 months in semifreeforming, i really dont like the way my hair looks after maintence day (i wash, separate and then palmroll, normally i go atleast 2 or 3ish months without palmrolling), I feel that the side part has much more volume than the back and front of my hair (probably because of the round cut i had in my afro before i started my journey), plus the format of my hair is making my face look too long, and i feel it make me look too manly.

i need to know if the volume on the sides will decrease when they mature, maybe i should combine some locs? maybe i should make some locs shorter?

pls help!!

(and sorry for the bad quality)

2 years of locs and counting

What’s good y’all, I’m new here. Shoutout to all my lions 🖤

2strand starter locs on long hair like 4 days in
Not too sure what to do when they get any longer no middle part cuz of my cranium lmao…
160ish

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 the second loc of mine that seems to be thinning. The patch of hair it’s connected to use be two locs. My baby sister does my hair so whatever info y’all give me I’ll relay to her. Also how often should I moisturize my hair I do it once every other day

I just started today I just want to know what I should and shouldn’t do before I keep going based on my length and hair type

I know it is possible to do but i dont know 1. How to do it or 2. If it would look good or not​

One of the best decisions i ever made 🙂‍↕️ This is ur sign to let it grow 🤞

no retwist in over two years with no desire for one

no product besides occasional rose water and oil mix on scalp

started with DIY two strand twists

Today I turn 38 years old rough looking and I still can't believe that but I'm cool with it enjoy the holiday and be safe out

day 4 or 5 in freeforms and ive been racketing constantly all day and now my scalp shows tf do i do

I got 2 strand twists yesterday but didn’t really fw them so i took em out and was thinking abt just letting em freeform do they have potential or should i just start over

Ive been wanting to do something with my hair since i had an afro for almost a year so i decided to try afro free forms. I only started two days ago and just want an option if they look alright.
