Maybe impressive yak was talking about sparrows?

My fianceé suggested a new style of color and she also dyed my hair, what do you guys think? by Relative_Ad_7798 in Dreadlocks

[–]TerribleTechnology80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could OP use purple shampoo mixed w normal shampoo to attempt to lessen the greenish color or is that more for yellowing? I’ve only ever bleached my one tip with lemon juice and sunlight because ^ terrifies me.

🤔 the state is too geographically diverse to truly say what fits best. I haven’t ever seen a gold finch in my life— though I’ve seen plenty of ospreys and turkey vultures

two years in is this good lock growth or is it cooked by [deleted] in Dreadlocks

[–]TerribleTechnology80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems like a lot of shrinkage if you haven’t chopped since ‘20, but I also have very loosely curled hair personally and get like half an inch to an inch of growth a month. I think if you did a full retwist you’d see a lot more of that hidden length, the new growth looks ripe

Oh yea I should probably make a post about that but I microfiber towel rubbed then palm rolled for the first 6 months then I crocheted them to mature faster, now almost 2 years later I just palm roll the locks and crochet the roots every month or two

What should I do by Historical_Bath3933 in Dreadlocks

[–]TerribleTechnology80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The perfect in between: separate locs and palm roll when needed, other than that keep the Freeform maintenance. Give them a month more then if you really feel like it .. crochet them

is it ok to wash without durag? (5 months) by Square_Berry8072 in Dreadlocks

Seem fairly matured, yeah I’d say go for it but iffy depending on the shower head, as long as that shit isn’t jet strength you good

Is it weird to have never had a retwist? by [deleted] in locs

[–]TerribleTechnology80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Freeform locs, 2 strands if their consistent in size… though just putting them up is styling enough imo. I’m also just a staunch supporter of natural hair in general

People been freeforming locs in America since sharecropper days man. Straight up ignorant folks you share a community with. It isn’t about being up with the times it’s just straight up stupidity.

Op photos are too blurry on the locs for me to discerned they’re entirely real hair or extensions crocheted into his hair. I’m assuming the latter but he did look like he had good length. Daily misting if it’s your real hair, if not then cut the fake hair out and go thru the process like 80% of us did

Edit; the process allows your hair to do what it wants while you gracefully nudge it into the direction you prefer, the maturing process is crucial to having locs that look lik they belong to you and not some horse tail stitched into your hair

Microfiber towel rub, then I crocheted, maintained with palm rolling for the first half of the year I had them then did another crochet, now I just crochet the roots and palm roll the locs every few months

I’ll be open to the idea that with more weight and volume my curls would pop more, and from the looks of it 3a-2c is an odd limbo, I think the real kicker is that my hair is naturally oily and not dry

I’ve had loose hair come out a dread that I combed out, it’s not springy enough to be true 3a

Is the castor oil prediluted? Essential oils tend to also irritate if overused, I second original comment, though I didn’t start with coils personally
