I am really starting to notice a difference as far as how they feel. The ones up front ar really tightening up, the ones in back are really starting to but still a lot of loose ends... but it'll happen. I actually originally did them on October 5th... then Sara redid/tightened them on the 19th of October... so they are either 3 or 2 1/2 months old or something...

My husband took an hour or so and did some maintenance work on my dreads for me. I washed them early in the day and after they were dry, he spent some time cleaning up some wild, loose hair and applying some aloe on them. He also added some beads to a few that needed a little help. I sure do love that man. See how happy it made me? :)
So, my camera batteries were sort of dying here. I wasn't even sure if I had gotten the shot. It's kind of off.
Space is what you need
Hide and crawl into your tunnel
Bury yourself deep into the earth
You will live amongst the moles
The ground squirrel will welcome you
It is time but you seek solitude
Days come
Days go
All along the way
I love you so
My 'phone went spazzy when I was in France, so I thought I'd lost all my snaps of the Really Big Donkeys Of Poitou, but this one was lurking in my email outbox after a failed attempt to get moblogular.

This is my favorite dread on the left side of my head. It's hard to see, really, but it is truly locked up from top to bottom. One of the very few that have progressed that far as of yet.
At the end of February I stopped brushing the loose hair on the top of my head, partly out of curiosity as to how long it would take it to lock up without doing anything at all to it. At this point I haven't decided whether to keep going with the experiment, but I haven't had a reason to brush it yet so I'll continue on for now.
