Recycled short blue dreads

[sally]

Hi guys, long time no post from me! I decided I wanted to give curlies a go, so I curled my last set of blue dreads (that I last wore over a year ago, shocking!) and tried to install them (please note, the dreads had to be braided then boiled to make the waves... I tried corkscrew curls but because the dreads are so short they ended up being ridiculous!)

On my head are 36-ish dreads, install is a bit crappy at the back as I am so out of practise (and normally get my mum to do it) Would have uploaded a pic of that too, but have you any idea how hard it is to take a picture of the back of your head? Eeesh!



So yeah... Has anyone got any bright ideas how to UNCURL these bad boys once I'm done wearing them? hehehehe

Resteam em, they'll straighten back up or pour boiling water over them.

That blue is gorgeous!

Good plan! They'll need a fair bit of maintenance after this wearing anyway

The blue of my actual hair is a mix of Directions Midnight Blue and SFX Fish Bowl (scraping the dregs of the blues I had left! heh!) and the purple streak is Directions Plum (which is the devil, and sticks to EVERYTHING... my forehead is still purple under here!)

What gorgeous colours. And I really like the wavy curls they have too.

They really match your hair, which is awesome.

(also, I have two mirrors in my bathroom just so I can take a photo of the back of my head and see what it looks like. I sound so weird XD)

These look amazing and I love that blue.

Ooh the blue is lovely

And as DSM said, just reseal them straight again

When I restraightened some of my curlies, I just tried to pull them as tight on both ends as possible when steaming. It got them pretty straight although some are a bit bumpy in some areas but they still straightened out really well. And those colors are lovely!

YAY dreadies they look great! Really cute, and the blue is perfect.

Yeah to re-straighten mine, I just pull em tight and reseal.
