Hello, hello everyone. I am barely sliding in at the end of my anniversary month, so I thought I'd give you all an update.

Lest we forget, my starting length, back in 2009.

So... yay!

My hair has definitely shrunk while I've had dreads, I'm sure it would be at least bsl otherwise. But, that's part of the process. My pre-dreaded length can be seen in my siggy.

Have a lovely day!

Very encouraging to see all that growth, and your dreads are looking great!

Awesome.
How are you finding dreadlock up-keep? :)

Your dreads are looking good! Can you link me to a site that tells how you form dreads? It's not something I want for myself, but I think they're cool and I'd love to know more about the process. :)

I saw someone with almost floor length dreads about a month ago. They looked really good, too. Unfortunately I was in a car and didn't get a chance to see them up close.

Thanks every one!

@Lady Dragon - I'm finding it way easy. :) I'm going very natural with my dreads, basically letting them do their own thing as muich as possible, so besides washing, seperating them and palmrolling, I'm leaving them alone.

@jeanniet - everything I needed to know about dreads I learned from Get Up Dread Up (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=get_up_dread_up)

Cool! I loved palmrolling my friend's dreads.
I had loose dreads for a little while, mostly because my hair tries to dread itself... eek!

Not on my phone, so I can respond properly now, lol.

I totally love palmrolling them! I've never told anyone that, lol. But they feel so cool when they swish between my fingers and I love the crazy shapes they make. The closest I got was talking two of my besties into running their fingers over some of the weirder lumpy ones, lol. I think that's a story that stays between us tho, lol. (And LHC, apparently.)

Thanks you! Are you still rocking your undercut? I'm so jealous you have the features for it. ;p

Thank you! I'm really curious how long it actually is, but not curious enough to comb it out, lol.
