Soooooooo, I sorta figured it would be easier to wait a month to show how my babies are doing. Obviously in the beginning there isn't a whole lot to see other than messy looking poof similar to what happens after a long night at an 80s party. But, I have to say, I almost surprised at how far my dreadlings have come in only a month.

^^ the crocheting has commenced! after 6 hours and not even finishing half my head I was about ready to stab myself with the crochet hook.

^^the world apparently felt my agony for crocheting, because the next day after finishing 1/2 my head I fell and couldnt use my arm for a while. -.- but one side of my head looks decent at least

^^ thus far my favorite way to wear my hair. pulled back and in a scarf. super easy and looks pretty good too.

^^ and lastly taken today at exactly 4 weeks of dread. crocheting is done and my dreads are nice and tight because of it (for as much a pain it is to do it REALLY helps) and this is right after my first washing. lush jumping juniper shampoo bar FTW.
