one year of dreadlocks.

General Talk

Hello everybody! I want to start off by saying how amazing it feels to actually follow through with something you tell yourself your going to do. I have been dreading my hair for one year and the way they are turing out is really surprising and quite amazing. I'll admit I was a little skeptical about how my hair would take to forming dreadlocks all on their own, but sure enough with lots of patience and dedication to not want to brush them out they have flourished into beautiful mature dreads. This process has helped me to accept myself as I am and love myself no matter what flaws I have or how out of the norm I am. It has also taught me that following through with a goal you set for yourself is so much more rewarding than quitting or trying to take a short cut. I hope all of you experience the same kind of transformation. Namaste and good luck to all of you.

natural color

Introduce Yourself

natural color

Introduce Yourself

Hello everybody, I'm on my third month of dreading my hair naturally and its coming along wonderfully. No issues or complaints but I would like to know if anybody has any suggestions on how I could color my hair with something completely natural. I stopped styling my hair and putting products in it for the reason that I'm trying to get back to nature and the natural way of life. my hair Is dark brown so I'm guessing it'll take quite a bit of time for my hair to take any color. I know lemon juice helps to lighten your hair but I'm looking for something that will take my hair in a more red direction. Any suggestions?

Honestly I recently have delved deep into the reggae scene and Personally I love it, everything about it. The background, the message, the beat everything. I think the reason most people would be ashamed would be because unfortunately reggae is associated with marijuana and most people are still In that "reefer madness" stage and don't want to be judged for smoking a little pot. Personally I say do whatever makes you happy and don't worry about what anybody thinks of you or your decisions because at the end of the day you're the one that has to live with your self.

I have to vent. I'm having difficulties Staying on a vegan diet! Help!

Dreads and Diets

Me and my whole immediate family have chosen to go down the vegan route for about a year now. It has changed my life in ways to deep describe right now. I lost a total of 60 pounds with just changing my diet. I'm not going to lie it is a lot easier with a support system but when you can't get it, then that's where will power, determination and strength come in. your health is more important than anything else in this world and if your family can't see that or try to help you with their support then you may have to go rouge on this one. try to have a different eating schedule than the rest of your family, look up recipes online. I promise there are tons of tasty things for vegans you just kind of have to know your way around the kitchen. Don't give up dreadfullyjaded. I promise it's well worth changing your life style for. your body is the greatest gift God gave you and you are making a good decision changing your diet.

Birthday issues

General Talk

I think it matters less and less because you learn to live for the day that's happening right now. I have forgotten so many peoples birthdays recently it's not even funny. But I can't help it that I'm so focused on today and not days months or even a year from now. It is technically just another day but you should treat every day like it's your birthday. Celebrate and enjoy the fact that you get another blessed day on this beautiful earth.Much love and peace.

My hair deserves an award (because I have commitment issues)

Why I chose to dread...

Introduce Yourself

I totally understand what you mean. I love the way you explain it because when people ask me why I started dreading I always find it difficult to get them to understand that its for personal growth and reasons I cant very well describe.

Much love and peace.
