Leanne's journey thus far. 8 months backcomb/neglect

Hair before dreads....boriiinnngg

Sooo my dreadlock journey began on 23rd November 2015 The first 2 weeks were crazy! like messy and frizzy haha.
I used backcomb method as I had super fine hair and it was the only way to ensure it stuck





I neglected my hair to let it do its thing.

At this point my hair was still long so I could do all kinds of styles with it.



Around 3 months in, they began to knot up, gradually shrinking and tightening.

Still messy and still shrinking and stacks of loops going on at 5-6 months

Month 8 and we now have much chunkier dreads, very firm and major shrinkage.

Looking like some solid dreads in just 8 months!

[fairytaleartist]

Thanks I am very pleased with how they have progressed in such a short space of time. My hair naturally hates being brushed, its fine and straight so surprising its tightened up so well.

A friend of mine from FB joined yesterday, can you guys give her new timeline a bit of love?  dreadlocktruth.com/thread/376/leannes-journey-months-backcomb-neglect

She's your friend? then is it fair to say I feel she somewhat resembles our other member Phoebe (ohphob)? Just, at first glance and some poses. I DID like her timeline (I try to do this for everyone, even if I don't speak to them.  ) Very nice tho! kinda liking that mess she's got going on...oh oh, the good dreadlock mess I mean! 

shoot! now that I KNOW she's your friend...or well, maybe it doesn't mean anything (maybe she's not from UK),...but I feel she also somewhat resembles my other moderator (also UK), whom I think is very pretty. 

(See, dork! )
