Here they are finally!
This is us just starting out at about 11:00 am. I don't think any of us had any idea what we were really in for...
After Kim crimped it with our ancient crimper we sectioned it into 82 sections ready for back-combing!
My three main stylists. They did a lovely job and put up with me (and eachother!) ALL DAY! (Thanks again guys!)
Here we are about half-ish way done. This is getting close to about 5:30 pm...oh boy...
Finishing up the last dread...I'd day this is about 12:30 am? Sound about right?
Here is the trouper Pam, who stayed with me the whole time. Dreadies all done now, and very sticky outty. But other than that not bad! Only 1:00am!
Here are my dreads today! Much more calm and relaxed.
(Ironic side note; in the background you can see my brush..won't be using that for a while! ha ha)
This is what I do with them for work. A little twisty pony, and you can see my funky bead in there!
Just like to say thanks again to everyone who helped (Pam, Kim, Corrie, my mom and Donald the gay mexican hair dresser). So thanks!
*Note to readers...FAQ:
Yes, I wash my hair. For the first two months every 4 days, and after that every second day.
No, they don't smell
Yes, I will have to shave my head when I want them gone (or cut my hair fairly short).
I don't know how long I plan to keep them...
Thats all I have for now, feel free to ask any other questions you have!

I am in awe. What a long haul that must have been for all of you. Did it hurt during or after at all? You look great!
They look awesome! I'm so glad they turned out so much better than Pinkie-the-Freak-Girl's : )
Me too! :)
Yes, it hurt. Quite a bit actually...Just during, not after at all!
ha ha! Boy did they hurt her-but mostly just the worst at the end. I just kept pushing through-"No BREAKS!! Okay, fine a 30 second break, but the less we stop the sooner we're done!"
And I agree, they look much better than pinkie freak! And I still think they're pretty cool. (And I'm jealous of how you really never have to 'do' your hair!) Since I'll never do them to myself, it is fun to live vicariously through you!
Let me know when you need any help re-waxing!
