I was browsing the 'combining dreads' in the memories. Saw the methods & only understood one [the easiest one]. What I chose to do is a mix of what I want and what's in the memories. I'm going to braid the smaller dreads, but not all the way up. I'm keeping my fork at the tips.
The only thing I was curious about is lasting effects. I've already started - haven't finished searching for dreads. In doing this, I'm really just sort of going to neglect these forked ends and focus on the root. Do I chance losing any of my forks? I like the idea of a fork. I have two of them that are duos because they grew thin. I did my first trio this morning.
In short, I want thicker dreads. I love my dreads, but I have ALOT and some of them are thin & I know they won't lock.
Also, I'm considering growing my hair out and starting my hair over with bigger sectioning. In terms of a 'professional look', I might look messy for a time. Right now wouldn't be the best time for it because I'm trying to find a job. But mine were started with wax and I want to do a deep clean, but also because
I'll insert photobucket links to my hair currently [messy as it is]:



So yeah. Long post short, I'm concerned about effects of half-braiding & fork neglect and considering 1 of 2 ways to thicken my hair. Either "grow & combine' or grow it out more and chop/start over.
Any suggestions/comments?
