First Transitional's *pics*

Here's me wearing the falls, very bulky:

Re: First Transitional's *pics*
Are these supposed to be naturals or twisties? Can't tell haha.
If they're naturals, backcomb more, and palm roll the crap out of them until all the hairs are sitting in. Even crochet if need be. It's hard to get a trans out of a natural dread, but there's no saying it can't be done.
If they're twisties, backcomb more too, twist harder and seal until they stay put

What method are you using to seal?

I just have a regular steamer, kinda cheap, i think steaming them with the kettle almost worked better :/

What hair are you using? I found that the first lot of dreads I did (that shall never see the light of day) were made with the wrong fibres and point blank refused to seal no matter what I did to them. They're now in the bin

I really don't think the sealing is the problem. They look not backcombed at all, and I think they will unravel pretty soon. You have to be patient when you backcomb it takes a while to get a hold on. But just try again
