| I've had my dreads for about 3 months and they look horrible. I started them at about 3-4in (which i suspect was the first problem), they've grown out a lil bit, but still look nasty. I have loose hairs everywhere which i cant seem to get into the dreads, and all my dreads are so so thin...is there anyway i can combine them? I try to wax and roll them as much as i can but it doesnt seem to help at all. My hair is very fine so i guess it doesnt want to lock up. any help would be so awesome! |

Did you twist the loose hair around the previously locked hair? Anyways, locks go through stages, baby stage, teenage stage and the mature stage. Everyone that had locks had a "not so good stage" in one way or another. I know lots of people with locs. As they grow they get better. How do they look nasty? i'm sure if you are cleaning them then they are clean, right? ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

| Yeah i tried twisting the loose air around the locks, and even waxed em and what not and the airs never want to go in the dread. And yeah i clean them so they are literally clean, but all the loose hairs and frizz and what not just makes them look nasty and unkempt. oh well in a few months i hope they will work themselves out |

Dreads are dreads and they are not gana look great... they are matted clumps of dirty hair. I had my dreads for 4 years and always had loose hairs and grown out straight hair.
Here is what they lookwed like after I had them for two years
