Dragging this over from the other site - Not really kept it too updated though!
Pre-dreaded. My hair was naturally straight and just about shoulder length all the way around (Bangs were maybe 1 inch shorter)
Pre dread back
Pre dread front
I went the backcombing route, after lurking around the site picking up tips.
Day 1! Crazy looking sideshow bob imposter. Still had the elastics on the tips (kept them on for 3 days)
Day 3 settling down a bit. No I am not high, despite the expression
After my first wash - around 1 week in
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 2, after the 2nd wash. 2 random pincers at the front
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uno Montho
In all their orangey glory
They shrank a bit. No sign of loopage or anything yet though!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then the loose hairs and frizziness begin! Argh. 1 month and a halfish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
δύο μήνες
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around 2 and a half-3 monthsish. I kinda stopped documenting them so now its random picture time!
Got demoted to sign shaker.. hopefully not because of my hobo-esque look!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-4 months in and I did a deep clean.
During!
And after! The water WAS clear to start.
And others at around 4 months (I think)
3-4 Months and I flew to Greece (and the Uk) so most of the pics were touristy/sappy/weird so I just pulled a couple that kinda show my hair.
My hair kinda tied back.. it was hot and sweaty there!
I was going to grow my stache as well.. see if I could have one of those weird curly ones.. but I gave up- They are so annoying!
After returning to Canada, (4-5 months) before a Gogol Bordello concert
*A bunch of pictures from this time got lost!*
Probably like 7/9 months
Kinda lost track of updating this, so now I'm around a year and a month old I took a few snaps while its on my mind:
Baby dreads being born
Yay for being able to kinda tie it back with itself
And not chronological but these were at the 1 year date - train back from the DT meetup
15 Months
18 months
Boredness led me to take some pics while out today. 21 months I believe...
They are a complete mess and look totally fried at the tips.. No idea why. Every dread has a loop or huge bump. They are also shrinking (until i pull the tips back down) Still doing no maintainance other than separating and the occasional salt spray. Switching between t-gel and lush bars washing them every 3-4 days.
^And my glorious updo's
Yes I realize I suck at taking pictures of my noggin. Its not as easy as some of you make it seem.
Edited 1 month later! 22month pics below:
^Blinded derpface!
So I never got around to posting my 2year update, so here are some around that time
Then this happened:
I kept the 3 dreads that I lost because of the cut, but am not sure what I will do with them yet.
They did get tidied a bit after that pic, evening sideburns and whatnot, but no more pics yet. Can't wait until the hair grows back a bit as I wasn't really going for bald xD I just forgot to specify before handing my friend the shaver.
Adding a few pics of a couple weeks later. Its starting to grow back a bit but not fast enough!
It does cover up pretty well and look like its normal self, albeit a bit thin:
And I like how this shows the shapes and bumps:
I woke up with dreadlock mouse ears on day and found it funny.
And the last update was just before I moved to the Netherlands 6-7months ago!
Ill try and find time to do a new update soon
