Hello all! :)

After creeping around this site for a while, I figured it would be best to join. I've always wanted dreadlocks(almost like a calling if I must say), but due to my profession i've always went back and forth with my decision. The medical profession often looks down upon dreadlocks and anything that isn't "neat", but i've decided to go on the long and beautiful process of maturing some beautiful dreads. At first I failed to properly research and went with the backcombing method with beeswax. Such a terrible idea! They kept falling apart and my hair felt so gummy. Definitely not what I had in mind. After washing out the wax (which was a two day process involving dish detergent and vigorous shampooing) and researching some more I eventually stumbled across this site! So much information gained. I have now began by tnr and letting my hair be. It has been 1 week 3 days since i've began and I am in it for the long run. Hope to make friends with you all. Peace and blessings.

That sounds awesome! I've seen only one other person with dreadlocks in my 5 years as a Surgical Tech, so it would be pretty awesome to have a section like that. This way, people can discuss problems they may have encountered with employers and solutions that help fix them. Is the new site up and running and do I have to reregister?
