I'm doing like, 2 more and then I'll start posting pictures. All of mine now aren't on the top layer of hair because I wanted to get the technique down before doing it.

So, pictures will be coming shortly

I definitely will!

I'm kinda going for a more messy look anyway, so I won't mind a few lumps or loops here and there

Yes. I go every 8 weeks for a retightening just to keep them neat. It takes about a hour

I also back combed the roots when I first put them in, and twist and ripped the rest of the way down. They tarted out pretty thin, an now they are getting to be thick little monsters. I don't do anything as far as maintenance goes, just washing them with dr Bronners and tearing them apart when they start to Congo. Mine are all natural and you can totally tell. I love them.

my last set what like that too! i loved the natural way. i just back-combed the whole dread though and then let it do its thing. they were pretty awesome! This time when i dreaded i just just getting into our farming career and had to look presentable, still do in a way, dealing with customers all the time.
