Just before I tore most of the fatties into smaller dreads- I somewhat regret that I tore apart these big beauties, but my dreads are SOO much more comfortable now..

Hmm, wonder if I can make this one wavy? DS picked out color and dread to wrap, so that makes this one "his".

Very poofy.

Lots of loopiness. I did a bunch of separating and palm-rolling about 2 days ago but you can't tell. My sis tied a few dreads with embroidery string - even wrapped the entire length of one underneath. I still need to do some serious maintenance though

(Gosh, they don't even looked backcombed! Just twisted!)

I braid them when they're still damp and let them dry, which is how I like to make them wavy.

Dreadlocks created by Andre Batts

This is from early 2001, about 3 years after starting my second set of dreadlocks. They were about 10-12 inches long. The front of my hair is undreaded, that's my "bang". I like it because it can alter my look depending on how I feel, I can style it in little twists, cornrow it, wrap it around a couple of locks and pull it back, fluff it up into an afro ridge. I have very dark hair hair, my natural hair color is jet black. I get asked a lot if I have dyed my locks this dark, to my surprise. Nope, this is my natural hair color.

*Amended 2007* I have dyed my hair recently as my locks were lighter due to streaking from the sun after an overly enthusiastic lemon-session last summer, LOL. I picked blue-black but as far as I can tell it came out just jet-black. Humph

And then it faded to this lovely shade. Hated the up keep and eventually dyed them black.

There are certainly some crazies in there. But they hide well.

mostly up do some at the back left down, these are large flatties! i love em!

I knew I'd find a purpose for my three year old dreads. I cut them off a year ago, but I've kept them in a box since I couldn't bear to throw them out.

I like that no two lock is alike and each one is its own length,texture, or pattern
