I understand, I feel the same way. I love the idea of it, but I have a lot of social anxiety about it too.
I usually do it in the shower, but somehow I missed this and it got pretty mature. I took a shower and picked at the connected part with a comb and it came apart. It looks kinda crazy and they stick out, but it didn't seem to do any real damage. Thanks for all the advice!
I had two dreads that joined at the ends of my hair and they are waaaayyy too far apart to join together. I tried pulling them apart but it hurts and it feels like it will completely fuck up my hair. How can I *gently* separate these two dreads?
I work in a nursing home and my little dementia patients think I have braids a lot. Others see my beads and think they're pretty, but I have gotten some funny looks from their families. But mostly, they are just grateful that I take care of their mom/dad/grandma/grandpa/husband/wife just like they were my own. IDK about other medical fields, tho. I'm mostly exposed to the same type of person in my line of work,
Ok. I was worried about it cuz a friend wanted to put one in my hair. She assured me it would be ok, but then she also puts wax in people's hair so I wanted a second opinion.
I love hair wraps they look awesome. But I just wonder if they could cause dread rot? It seems like water and other funk could get trapped in there and maybe they wouldn't get clean? And eventually couldn't they get trapped in the dread? Can they be easily removed if they start doing that? Could they inhibit the process?
It is so much fun. Since using this shampoo my hair transforms every time I wake up. It's awesome. I feel like I actually accomplished my first milestone of patience. That was why I started my journey was to learn patience in place of vanity.
I'm so excited! I've used the Lockin' Up dread shampoo twice now and while putting my hair up today I found one decent sized dread and one that's more of just a big knot lol. I'm so excited to have the first dreads of my second set forming completely natural. It took so much will power and patience not to TnR or back comb, but I got some motivation now. I have physical proof that my hair is making progress and I don't have to force it. So happy!
