  ok so here is a partial timeline trying to figure out how to work this.
anyone know why i can only seem to post three pics in a post?

anyway i twist and ripped. it took my like 16 hrs. i think i may have been a little obsessed with doing them "right" I did the first set on feb 3rd 2017 and then took them out and redid them on the 22 and 23rd of feb.  
this is the morning after i finished the second set i believe. maybe the first, i'm sure they looked exactly the same to anyone except to me the second set was much better in my own head at least.



this is in july. you cant tell alot but there are lots of loops in there somewhere. they shrank allot during july, between swimming and deep cleaning to try to get the chlorine out. i deep cleaned them twice and both times they shrank drastically. if i can figure out how to add more pics ill add them. I did brush out the tips two maybe three times over the summer because they were serious about blunting on their own quickly and it made them really short which i just don't feel i'm ready for. I kinda love the messy crazy hair. I'm sure when i'm ready for the to blunt they wont do it.  

 

this in at the beginning of oct. still some short ones mixed in there but overall i'm fine with the overall length so figured i would just let it go. 



Overall thoughts. I love them and plan on being buried with them! Kinda sad i didn't do it before now. 
And i will say its amazing the personal growth i've experienced. I don't know which started first the growth or the dreads. I feel like i started growing better as a person the day i twisted and ripped. Either way it's great and i'm glad there is a place i can share that with. As I only know of one person that would be open to understanding the concept without having dreads themselves.

this is after my deep clean after the end of summer. For the most part i left it alone just brushed out one or two tips. the ones that didn't shrink allot kinda balanced it out after it dried and i messed with one or two. The first time i deep cleaned that happen to just the back of my head and a few spread out in the rest. I brushed out all the tips the first time and they all seem to be working out. I have combined a few over the months. I still have two that I'm not sure if they are too thin or not but figured I'd give them some time to show what they are going to do.

Good looking start! No clue as to why you can only pose 3 pictures at a time.

I love that loopy photo in the first post. Fabulous progress pics. Thanks for sharing. Yeah you should be able to post more photos. You can edit the first post to put more in.

Tks! I'm super happy with them. I love how messy they are at the moment. That's my favorite pic as well. Which is thankfully the way they look most days which makes me love them. Before dreads i would try to mess my hair up and make it messy. It would never stay. I think I will miss the messy stage when they finally mature.

So much shrinkage! The difference is amazing. I can't wait to see how these progress.

Hey cas, sorry I only just saw this - there's a limit on how many attachments you can add to a post which is why you're only able to add 3 photos. You can post more by uploading them to somewhere like imgur.com and then pasting the embed link into your post.... you can find that via the 'get share links' drop-down menu option on the uploaded pic and then the 'BBCode' link.

But yeah, looking great! Those loops are awesome. Shame my locks started off so short that I bypassed that stage, they always look super cool and characterful.
