When dreads fully mature, do they thicken out so my scalp doesn't show so much? From what I've seen in photos, they do thicken out, but I'm not sure/ kinda worried about that.

Nahh, you shouldn’t be worried. The only way your scalp would show is if you sectioned them out in HUGE sections and tighten your roots pore-pulling tight. I was worried about that too, but nah, you’ll be fine!

This is also why I randomly did sections rather than square them off perfectly. (Also cause I love having dreads of all sizes on my head). There’s nothing wrong with sectioning them off, but unless you possibly want a defined parting line, try sectioning them in smaller parts~

ive fallen deeply in love with those who have dreads since 420. but because i dont have dreads it seems like no one that has dreads will talk to me.. anyway i could meet peaceful people.. btw youre all beautiful. ox

Awww sweetie I’m sure you’re a wonderful person, and if anyone’s being rude or disrespectful just tell them to go fuck themselves lul. And hey, why don’t you talk to them? I feel so flattered whenever anyone compliments me on my hair, and not at all strange!

i've had my dreads just over a year, and for one, my roots are getting loose (close to 2 inches) and they have a green tint from my previously blue hair (before dreads). best fastest way to tighten roots? and what is the best hair dye for wavy white girl hair that's dreading that wont screw them up? is henna hair dye good? hallllpp <3 :(

Ahhhh roots. The most frustrating part.

Root-rubbing is your answer. Simply put your dread in between your index and middle finger above where it starts to become loose. Then rub your scalp at the base of the dread for as long as you like, I usually go about 10-20 circles. You’ll notice it tighten just a little! As early as the next morning, you’ll notice the difference!

In my opinion, Special Effects hair dye has always worked best for me. (If you’re going for unnatural colours that is) Vibrant colours and lasts way longer than any other dye I’ve ever used. I find Manic Panic to be very moisturizing, which is good, if you have normal flowy hair. 

The same goes for henna. It depends really, on each brand. I used the hennas from Lush; it smelled like holy heaven but it had so many moisturizing agents in it that my hair kinda greased up and loosened a bit. 

Don’t fret my love <3

Ever since i combed out my dreads a few months ago my hair has been super frizzy and poofy because my dreads were very loopy and my hair was that way for a year but i cannot get my hair to straighten any advice?

Conditioner is your best friend :)

Hey so I really want to get dreads but I'm not certain about several things. So I have about 10 inches long hair and I was wondering, how long do they get after it's all "dreadlocked"? And I read the "METHODS", but I'm not sure if I can get it right by backcombing or by Twist and Rip and I definitely haven't got enough patience to do the Natural method. It also came to my mind if a hairdresser get it done for me but I'm just really not sure about that either Sorry for the long note... and thanks

DO NOT GO TO A SALON!

Trust me, i’ve made pretty much every mistake possible and going to a salon was by far the worst one. Other than putting wax in my hair, which the salon did as well and took a fucklong time to get it out. If you ask me, I’d go with the backcombing. Maturity’s faster, and it blends in very well with new growth!

After you dread your hair, you lose about 2-5 inches i’d say, depending on your hair type. Curly hair tends to dread better, I’ve noticed. While yes you do lose some length, dreadlocks are still hair, and hair grows! You’ll notice, everyone who’s had their dreads for a while and combs them out realizes that they now have hair much much longer than they did when they started.
