Mr.Eliel's dreadlock timeline

[mreliel]

So this is pretty much from start to finish (never really finished are we?)  
hope y'all enjoy

This was me before dreads, Yes i was a band geek

days after getting things first twisted

Here you can really see the twists being...twisty, not quite dreads yet


and begins the "Ugly stage" of dreadlocks, yes i was in high school, yes i was harassed but that was then lol

starting to mature, this is about 6 months in

This is a really big picture (sorry) and also i started getting bigger too....thats what happens when you go from playing football to playing nothing, dreads about a year in


Here you can really see the maturity of my hair, its all just kinda a tangled mess, about a year and a half in

another macro shot lol, but you can see the structure of my hair being weird and not so dread like, still like a year and 4 months

skipping forward about 4 months my hair finally looks like dreadlocks


just under two years in

two years and about 5 months
and thats it so far. its been a real journey!

Update taken today! (16/8/2016) with the extensions (two in the front top right)

Just beautiful progress man! They look super great on you! And I always thought the kids in band were the coolest in school. Being able to contribute to music is a wonderful thing

Ok, i don't typically comment on timelines much because of x, y, z, but

Man! You rocked the short dreads! Not everyone gets to have em, or wear them so well, so....yay for you! Nice!

They look tight and have that "cool curl" at the endz!!

Thanks, i also like the current length. I was thinking of getting my tips blunted but idk, my extensions are blunted but i only have like 5 so its not very noticeable

blunted tips make for a much longer time drying. just saying. btw, i didn't mean that the dreads don't look good now, it's just special (i think or to me) to see them shorties.

Yeah lol, A lot of people i know started their dreads already with long hair. I didnt want to wait to grow my hair out so i just started from nubs. turning out well i think
