First dreads!

Post by XdeathbettyX » Sun Sep 11, 2011 8:12 am

Here are my first images! These are actually my second 'set' of dreads,i made my first ones near christmas but i was really unhappy. They were SE's,but after trying them i prefer DE's. Theres only 3 dreads because i wanted to make sure i wasnt getting anything wrong.

Well then! Those are looking pretty good! Unless those are just solid lumps, I see a few poofed out places that perhaps could stand to be sealed again (just to be on the safe side!), and your ends are looking nicely tapered for the most part. On a couple of the ends it looks again like they could stand a bit more of a seal, but all the same; if you like a certain seal or look for your own dreads, power to ya!

They look like they'd be good to touch! Not overly shiny or crunchy or crinkly! :D

Ah gotcha about that box storage thing. Storage always makes my ends do the wave!

These dreads look pretty darn good. I do agree with resealing and can't wait to see em all.

About storage... look at Target or Walmart (or any good store close by) at clearance. You can usually find a good deal on storage bins that would help out. Especially after Halloween when they wanna get rid of the themed storage boxes.
