Anonymous asked: Do you have any pictures of yourself? I wanna see your dreads!
If you go through my blog or to the archive 99% of the dread pictures are of me! But I will reblog some of my older posts of my dreads.
And you don’t have to be on anon
:) have a good one!
It’s interesting to see the evolution of not only my dreads, but my dread’s style. In the beginning I was obsessed with beads and thread wraps and any sort of “dread decoration.” I did the wool roving dreads for a while. It was exciting at first because I thought, “holy shit I can put STUFF in my hair.” No one can tell you NOT to put these things in regular hair, either. Its a shame I waited until dreads to do it!
- But, now that my dreads are mature, I have taken out almost all of the wraps and beads. One of the wooden beads had to be cut out because it was from the first week and very stuck. All I have left for decorations now are:
- a long wooden bead
- a grey lace stitch that is sewn in
- a brown and seafoam green thread wrap
I may take the thread wrap out soon as well. Its interesting to see dreadlocks and your taste in them change. In the beginning I was I to well maintained and highly decorated dreads, and now I prefer natural dreads with little decoration (for my own).
However I still see colorful wool roving dreads that I adore!
