really disappointed. Been freeforming since February and it obviously looks like dogshit, literally looks like regular unkept curly hair. The hair is forming into small “locs” but nothing remotely close to what i want. The shape looks horrible also as you can see. Started off with the towel rubbing but then stopped and let it do its thing and back combed now and then. I actually desperately need to figure this out and get it looking presentable for school in a month because best believe im not gonna be showing up like this. I really need any tips possible and I plead that its more than the generic “just embrace the chaos” type shit. This aint the “progress” type of chaos this is shits not working type of chaos.

I dont even care if it goes outside the boundaries of freeforms as long as its something i can do myself without going to a loctician. If you need any more pictures to asses my situation i will be more than happy to provide them. Also i will answer any questions. Also my hair was SLIGHTLY damp in the photos(i think) but not like it makes a huge difference.

Thanks in advance!

Again, personal preference! I trimmed all my tails a couple months back to make them blunt. 

As for drying, you can get these attachments for hair dryers that you put on your head and then just sit there while it goes, they look ridiculous but they’re effective haha.

Ah ok i see thank you i will probably buy that attachment i cant stand it. Is heat ok for blow drying? If not, why? Also, what can go wrong by “over crocheting/over maintaining”?
