Root tidy up for one of my favourite people πŸ‘‘πŸ™ i have been working on these dreads for many years now 😍 I believe what's left is pretty much all my work now.. we've finally gotten rid of the skinny lifless dreads that were held together by wax an sewing threads πŸ™ˆπŸ’ͺ
They are much thicker & so much healthier now πŸ˜‡
Always such a pleasure to see you mate πŸ‘‘πŸ™ such a lush chilled few hours as per πŸ‘ŒπŸ₯°thanks for always being someone so important in my life πŸ₯°

If you tell me I can't... I'll prove to you I can !

Well over due root tidy.. fresh shaved back & sides.. and some serious tlc a few dreads that needed it!
He kept nipping out of the root every time he reshaved the sides himself..
So he ended up with some real dangerously thin roots!!
Explained to him to fix this he needs to grow out his shaved sides enough .. so that I can resection these roots .. adding more hair back into the root for a much healthier sized section to support the dread that follows.
He genuinely thought these dreads couldn't be saved an that he was going to lose them!!

With a little magic & a whole lot of love.. every dread remains in it's place & he's now not scared he's going to be dropping dreads everywhere he goes βœ¨πŸ™πŸ‘‘
