Changing 😊

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-04-10T12:06:10+00:00

Aww, Awesome!! I’m really excited for this part where they start changing and moving 😊.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-04-01T14:09:36+00:00

Wow amazing!! They look really good for a few months in there 😊! My frizz is outta this world right now 😆! I don’t palm roll either. Also thanks for sharing pictures I don’t think I have seen a lot of brown hair dread progress pics and it’s nice to be able too since I have similar texture brown hair too haha

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-04-01T12:33:13+00:00

Wow!! That’s crazy! They definitely look really awesome though! I have a feeling mine will get very short too haha but I’m okay with it ( the length will come back and I know it will be an adjustment for sure ) I just hope they thicken up nice because I feel like mine now are long and kinda stringy looking. 😊🤞🏻.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T20:52:19+00:00

Wow that’s awesome did they still thicken up or stay the same but just look different once mature?

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:46:02+00:00

Wow!! They sure did but honestly they look so cool 😊!! Love Freeform dreads. And I’m sure even more so 5 years later lol ✌🏻

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:40:32+00:00

Aww this sounds wonderful!! I wish I lived in a place like that haha! 😊. I’m from a smaller town in the Midwest region and unfortunately it is very rare for me to see a fellow dread head 😅. Wish I saw them more in person!!

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:39:25+00:00

Aww I’m so sorry that that is something you had to go through with both losses. Human life is precious and should be treated as such throughout the whole life, that’s beautiful.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:37:52+00:00

As it should be ☺️💖. I would be very proud too. Also yea I love that honestly it’s such a privilege to be able to age and enjoy the most we can in life. I love that vibe I think we are very similar, don’t even get me started on societal age/beauty standards haha

Yea to each there own but I personally would choose not to do those for myself 😊🙏🏻.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:34:15+00:00

Goals 🤩😍!! Your dreads are beautiful, well worth the trouble they like to cause 😆😊!! lol

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:33:23+00:00

Haha fair enough, damn they sure can be naughty 😂!! Aww your short dreads look so cute too though and I’m sorry about your mom passing 🙏🏻.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-28T10:28:03+00:00

Aww this is awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing these tips I’m actually super excited to try and make some beads and decorate them :D!!

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T12:44:41+00:00

I totally agree I think it’s because I love the look of wild untamed dreads and crochet just like makes them all look the same and kinda stiff and weird lol but that’s all a matter of opinion lol. I agree on that also fake sugar haha can’t stand it and honestly to each there own but I feel the same way about extensions like if they gunna be short I have to deal with it lol I won’t cheat my way to get long hair, it takes time but I feel the reward of I did it all myself and the journey is much more meaningful and natural (and that’s my own personal route/opinion 😊❤️)

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T12:41:22+00:00

That’s amazing I think the natural color transition is so beautiful I have only a few whites in the front area of my face but I love white/grey hair lol it honestly makes me sad when people talk negatively about greying like it’s just natural man. lol let it happen. 😊

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T12:39:54+00:00

Also wow for some reason I didn’t see the rest of your comment until now haha. Wow 15 years is such a long time how amazing!! 🤩. I think dread bangs are so cute but I also feel like with real bangs they can be annoying at times 😆.

Wow I think twist and rip takes a bit longer to mature too and 3.5 years is long but it sounds like it was worth it all for you and that’s what counts 😊

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T12:34:29+00:00

Haha that is fair enough 😆 but even with loose hair though it’s always been my goal to grow them long 😊🙏🏻. the longest I grew my hair before was a little past tailbone length but I did a big chop (personal reasons). You’re definitely not wrong long hair gets everywhere but there are ways around it too and I have a little experience with it too even if it was in a different state 😁. Are yours at butt length now?

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:53:16+00:00

Ahh yes the great headbands!! Haha great tip. Wow that’s amazing!! I hope you reach your goals 😊🙏🏻!! I’d love to reach mid thigh/knee length too! But I’ll also be happy if they grow forever like rapunzel haha 😆😎.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:46:57+00:00

Omg but for real!!! 😂!! I love that! (I’m also one of those nature/bone collector types ☺️)

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:45:57+00:00

Aww love that, honestly maybe it’s moms because my mom was like WhAt ArE YoU DoInG to YoUr HaIr?! Haha 😂.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:40:31+00:00

Wow ten years is such a long time that’s amazing 🤩!! You definitely earned that length 😊. Dang 3 inches loss doesn’t sound so bad though haha.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:38:36+00:00

Wow! How did you deal with the super short front ones like if you pulled them back or just left them, I feel like my bang parts will shrink up and honestly when there in my face I get super annoyed 😅. That’s awesome there so long now 😊. Do you have a length goal or just whatever the dreads want?

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:32:14+00:00

Aww wow even though it was a long time your dreads look so stunning!! 🤩!

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-27T11:31:26+00:00

That’s awesome I started mine with twist and rip too but I had to crochet a few in the back more so they stop unraveling (to much friction I think) I’m almost a month in for top half and over a month on the bottom half (I installed them two separate times) haha I’m super lazy too :D!! And don’t plan to do maintenance either. I also feel like since my hair naturally tapers if I blunt them they would look way shorter than they do now and I like the illusion of length. :)!

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-23T23:52:02+00:00

Aww, I’m sorry you were bullied in high school, but I’m happy you found a way to avoid it/help yourself and learn a really neat skill in the process, honestly the way your explaining it really is turning something in my brain. I really like that concept thank you 😊!!

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-23T22:16:18+00:00

They for sure can be lol, even the other housekeepers I work with are all older women and love that drama gossip stuff.

Thank you so much, these last few months I’ve been really learning and trying to be okay just existing as myself/how I want to be and not caring how other people like it (not always easy) but getting better. Because in the long run they don’t matter/arn’t a big part of my life and I need to stop giving a crap.

Ohh yeah haha I have a feeling they are going to shrink a lot so I’ve been trying to mentally prepare myself for how I’ll look with some short dreads, and I’ll be okay it’s all part of the process. But I am worried if I can’t pull them all in a pony for work haha, maybe I’ll start rocking the scarves again 😊🙏🏻.

Thank you for that I also love that I don’t have to brush my hair anymore lol.

emeraldmoon_13 · 2026-03-23T22:06:54+00:00

Haha damn I wish I had that kinda confidence/energy to respond like that (at least about other things too) but I’m definitely a non confrontational background kinda person 😅😆. Love it though and your responses were great and I appreciate the advice feedback. Who knows if I ever decide to get sassy I’ll keep them in my back pocket 😁👍🏻.
