I promised a timeline...
I promised a timeline, so beware of MEGA pictures ahead.
My dreads were started August 21st. So they are about just over 5 months old now. They were started with backcombing and a dread perm. I didn't know a lot about dreads at the time and opted for a dread perm. I thought it might save me from some crazy hair moments; worried about my appearance at work, etc. (I'm a nurse).Anyways I don't really regret having the dread perm. The worst part is they were pretty crunchy at first, and STINKY. Most of the perm has fallen out now though. When they are wet they still curl up a little. Thank GOODNESS I did enough reading to know that wax was a bad idea, so my dreads are wax free.(DESPITE many people encouraging me and pushing me to wax them).
My hair was pretty highlighted when I got them done so you can see it's got some marble-y look to
it lately as they lock up. I kinda like the patchy look though, I think it looks interesting.
