mum and son dreads....awesome!!!!.....looking good

Cheers, his hair is progressing more slowly than mine - I used lots of salt water, went sea swimming, bleached my hair 3 months in, etc - Alex hasn't really done any of that and his hair is like silk so it's taken longer to form knots.

He's happy now that he's finally getting somewhere

Glad he's still sticking with it and it's nice to see them coming along

Loads of progress, kudos to your son!
He's blessed for having you to back him up. I know the lives of some of us would be so less heavy if we had support from our families regarding our locks.
He has to appreciate it.

I really wish your family were more accepting of your faith Abel x

So he decided he's going to join the army.

After:

ohh! they were ganna be such beauts as well. maybe in the future!

I'm going to use them to extend my own locs!

So! He didn't last a year, now he wants the dreads back!

He didnt like the patience route, so we sat down with a comb and crochet hook today.

I'm pleased with the sectioning, but I haven't made them all the same size as he didnt want that, it was harder to get some of the chunkier ones to back comb tight too!

Before:


The first row:


Halfway:


Finished back combing:


I'm amazed at how much hard work that was lol

Glad he decided to regrow them! It'll be good to see how this set develops - the previous set looked set to turn into beauties.
