half way there, livin on a prayer
hey my gudu folk, how's doin? i'm just one week away from my six month dreadversary, and still madly in love with them of course - but they've gone from past-my-shoulders dreads to being a dread bob, which had me wondering: why the massive shrinkage?
as always, i've read through the memories, and they have helped immensely explaining that shrinkage varies from person to person, and with different types of locking methods. mine were backcombed, and from one month old to six months old, they seem to have lost about 50% of their length. i wash them weekly, and sometimes palm roll but otherwise i leave them alone and let them do their thing. they've never been cut.
i doubt it's cause for concern, but i figure i'd put it out there with pics, in case anybody else has this kind of serious shrinkage and is wondering if it's normal.
so we have a before pic:
and after pics ( Collapse )
