One week old!

My dreadlocks have reached one week. They're all over the place! I re-backcombed a few of them over the week, mainly the ones that didn't hold together after a shower. I'm resisting the urge to redo the few on my left side, they're really loose but still keeping to their own distinct groups so I want to leave them to see what they do themselves. If there's no progress with them after a month I'll look at redoing them. I'm not sure what's going on with the very back ones. There are a lot of loose hairs getting around, but again, i'm gonna leave them to their own devices.

For now I don't go anywhere without a headband!

dreadlocked!

Seeing that I had nothing much to do on the 4 day Easter weekend, I decided to try dreading my hair myself.

After the first minute of attempting to section the hair myself, I realised it was not gonna work. So I convinced Hai to section it for me, then went onto the backcombing myself and managed to do it all over 2 days. My left arm is still sore! It's amazing how much work it is to hold your hands above your head for an extended period of time.

I ended up with 30 dreads, some small some fat (and one extra fat one that wont sit flat at all!). Photos here

It feels good to be back on the path to dreads! :)
