Day One (2-6-12)

Decided to Dread my hair using BRAIDS as my method.

Started Braids during the Superbowl (Giants Won over Cheater Patriots). Only did 7 for now, Ass got numb lol. Lazy i know. I put the small black rubber bands at both root and end. Sealing the frayed hair down with locking cream wax. The remaining hair that is straight from the ends of braids I have decided to back comb/tease and do the rip-pull method to start knotting up the hair behind the rubber band. since I will be removing the bands in a few weeks if not sooner.

Tomorrow I will crochet the ends in to round them out.

Doing all this is purely experimental. Not following everyone's guidelines I have seen via googling other blogs, and youtube videos. Having fun in this "journey" so-to-speak. So if you stumbled onto this blog don't follow what I did and do it may not work for you. All hair is different. Never do as others do step by step, where is the fun in that? Be different, Express your individuality..Even through hair styles.

Based on reading basic dread information it takes about 6 months for the hair to get knotted-up. Keep sticking through the different phases of dreads, a lot of people get discouraged when there hair doesn't look like images of those who have had there dreads for years.

Below are BEFORE pictures :)

Check out some of the sites I read:
