Eight Months



They were crocheted in May 2010, and I had one maintenance session in November.  I love the slightly woven, spongier look of crocheted dreads. Because the crocheting method doesn't shrink your hair like backcombing does, mine are VERY long!  They don't have as much volume as regular backcombed dreads because of that lack of shrinkage, but also aren't as weighty. Pluses and minuses to both methods!

  1. absolutely gorgeous. I prefer the look of crocheted dreads the best. I'm waiting for my hair to be longer before I get them again.

  3. I only had them for about a year and then I cut them out. it will take awhile for my hair to be long enough. I love long dreads. I'm thinking of getting braids for awhile. and sort of roughing them up to be dreadlike but I would have to add extensions and I want them to be au naturel ;) so I'm not sure exactly when I will decide.
