How to dreads like this? (other questions)


General Questions

Yeah man, if you want nice, long lasting dreadlocks then follow the advice everyone has given here. I know it may not be want you want to hear, but its true. REAL dreads make themselves. They're not something you can just ask a hair dresser for and acquire in a day. Even if you do, they will be temporary dreads at best.

 

It really is a journey, it's about a lot more than just the hair on your head. It's about more than what you see in the mirror, and what people will see when they look at you. It's about overcoming that vanity altogether and learning to accept yourself for who you really are, and being comfortable in your own skin. But sometimes having them done at a salon is part of the journey too, although it will most likely end up exactly the way the others have already said: youll end up hating them, cutting them off, and starting over new with an entirely different perspective, and you'll be happy to do it the natural organic way. Sometimes thats what it takes, you have to wear that facade for a while before you realize that its fake. Real dreadlocks dont lie.

Hello! I'm looking for friends :)

Yeah I think it has contributed to breaking for sure. They were super skinny weak ones to begin with though, like as skinny as spaghetti.

I had a look at the dreadlocks soap bars, but I'm not all that keen on purchasing products from overseas. Especially not if I have to use it regularly. So I've just kept up with the BS/ACV, doing deep cleans monthly. I've had no issues with itchiness, smelliness or dead skin build up yet.

 

If I could work out some kind of herbal brew to make up for myself it would be awesome

The Outback spat me back out.


Introduce Yourself

Heya bulla

What's the story behind the title of this thread? Just curious as I see you're also from Aus. But there was nothing in your post about the outback :P

How's everything going man? I'm down for chats!

Introduce Yourself

Hello, you can call me Jigga.

I'm a dready from Australia. I've had my dreads for almost three years. I discovered this site when I was first researching how to care for dreadlocks, just before I decided to stop brushing. I'm super grateful for everything I learned here, I'm very happy with how my first and only set of dreads has turned out! There have been no issues so far. The only thing that has concerned me in the slightest is a few of my skinniest, weakest dreads have broken off, but they formed weak and skinny at the very start and were bound to succumb to wear and tear eventually anyway, so the loss is easy to accept.

 

I've joined up because I'm looking for friends and somewhere to communicate with like-minded people over the internet when I'm home alone. Hopefully there are some decent chats to be had here still :)

 

Looking forward to getting to know some of you! It seems like most folks on this site are from America, but that's cool, I want to visit you guys one day and meet the REAL people!
