I kind of miss my dreads right now. They were so easy and so low maintenance. The down side is that they're so permanent. I wouldn't want to have my hair locked again.
Mine are low maintenance too but when I do have to maintain them It's a real chore. I can spend 2-3 months without retwisting the roots but end up with a mini afro.
Ladies,
THAT is amazing. I wear a wash and go daily, and must be very patient with detangling.
Every time I hear about de-locing I think about the time it takes me...wow...
wouldn't one be overwhelmed at the amount of hair they are unlocing and fear breakage?
Chile, I was looking at the amount of hair that came out after detangling and almost screamed but realized that it was only shedding hair that had not been combed. I had my locs for exactly 4 years so I expect a lot of shedding. I'll take pictures when the process is all done.
I am afraid of getting overwhelmed indeed which is why I plan on doing 1-2 per day only. I'm trying to keep as much length as possible but I know I will need a trim to get rid of split ends and get my hair at the same length.
