New to the site and to locking. Already love both!
Introduce Yourself
Whats up?
My names Nick Knox, Ima 21 year old musicianfrom Ontario, Canada. Ive been reading through these forums a lot over the last couple months. I've learned so much, and every day I come on here I usually pick up on something that I didn't catch before.
When I first started looking up dreadlocks online, I knew absolutely nothing about them, other than the fact that something inside mefeels a pull towards them.
I read a lot of different sites, and discussions but I must say, Soaring Eagles knowledge that he is sharing just seemed overall more genuine than anything else I found.This is why months later I still check back here several times a week.
I figure I might as well join an interact more with everyone, Im sure there plenty more I can learn.
I was literally shaved head my entire life, I've always wanted locks. But I always worried about the in between stages. Because I was not used to myself with here. This year I stopped denying myself. haha
I started washing with baking soda and ACV a couple months back while I let my hair grow out a lil bit. Simply because I always found regular shampoos an conditioners to be like drugs for my hair. Using them often left me needing to use themMORE often. Havent had this issue with the BS&ACV.
My hair is only 4 inches at its longest, maybe lol. But about 2 and a half weeks ago I jus stopped combing, and playing with hair. Since then. Ive been amazed!
My hair is sectioning itself, I already have dreads forming on all sides of my head, NO WHERE NEAR locked, but tight enough together that i can feel them, wash them, and seperate sections with them staying together.
It is honestly one of the most beautiful, amazing processes to witness, and I have barely begun my journey.
Its like every time I wash my hair, every time I get out of bed, its different, sometimes it looks like sections are coming loose, but than the next time I sleep or wash,they feel tighter than ever before. It's like my hair has a mind of its own and it wants to dread as much as I want it too.
I do not understand why anyone would want to get locks and NOT go through this process. I love it and I've always been really impatient lol. butI feel like it is who I am.
I will take pictures within the next week, or maybe a little video but I just wanted to say hello and share a bit of my story thus far.
A big shout out to Soaring Eagle! This community you have built is amazing!
