Some people recommend not to wash new baby dreads for 2 weeks. WHAT?!?!? I was lucky to go as long as I did (5 days). I figured I'd just follow my heart and go for it. I washed my "rat-nest" hair this morning and it was a new experience. After having long straight hair for 10+ years, I have never felt my head become so heavy while the dreads soaked up water. It was just like a sponge! With that said, for the first time in 11 years (probably more) I used a hair dryer. It felt like it took forever and my arms just about pryed off after holding it up for so long to do the deed.
Right now I feel a little disappointed as I see that many dreads have come undone and are coming apart at the roots. This sucks! I knew it would do that, but some part of me was hoping that I was going to be the exception to the rule. I know it's gonna take a long time for the dreads to finally knot up and while I am constantly telling myself to just go with the flow, I can't help but wonder if I am going about it all wrong. I can't wait to read this post months later and laugh! For now...... palm-roll, twist, palm-roll, backcomb, palm-roll......
