Hi! So, my third set of dreads have turned one year old. Thought it was about time to finally create a post after lurking around here for so long. Not a big social media person, so the photos aren't that great. Nice to meet you all, cheers! Adding some new pics after I did a round of crochet maintenance.

Hi! So, my third set of dreads have turned one year old. Thought it was about time to finally create a post after lurking around here for so long. Not a big social media person, so the photos aren't that great. Nice to meet you all, cheers! looks great! nice to meet you! Oh, and I just "bite" or "bit" you! (you can opt out of the Zombie game, but I've just been waiting all week to play, sorry) hehe, I'm Carrie btw, and new as of like last week. I talk a lot, may act silly, but I'm really just a fun loving gal! Welcome aboard! We can be "socially awkward" together (although I'm sure I'm moreso than you will ever be! ha!)

Nice!!! rkymtnjoy, I take it your hair was really really long before you started. Also, is that a bun on top?

Thanks jxbx. It was long, and is insanely curly. Yes, that is a mini bun. was trying to look neat and tidy for work today. After the shrinkage stage I'm just starting to gain length again, very excited about that!

Impressive third set! And congrats on 1 year What method did you use to start your dreads? They were backcomed to start, and I have done some crocheting for maintenance. My very patient husband helped me with the sectioning. And no wax! I made that mistake with my first set years ago. Had to cut those puppies of. I then tried to create really thin dreads with twist and rip, but I must not have mastered the technique because they all feel out. Turned into a big spider web of tangles.

That's the beauty of multiple sets.... you can bypass the mistakes of the previous. I had the same with my terribly-waxed first set. Welcome!

Pre-dread pic. Doesn't show the link, but it's all I have. Doesn't look add curly as my hair usually is (or was)... must have had an odd urge to brush it that day...

I have just been looking throught timelines again, getting motivation, getting inspiration....was thinking ourhair is very similar...actually we are similar. I like your smile and glasses...ok tmi, but hey...was wondering if you might put up more pics of your process. I am curious to see how this year looked for you. Did you keep that same color? I have seen some great timelines, and it is neat to see how they grow with the dyed hair BUT...it'd be also cool to see just one color (like I am doing). No pressure, but if you were waiting for someone to ask well....?
