Process Speech on dreadlocks and the twist and rip method!!!

Dreading Methods

So tomorrow I am doing a process speech in my English 155 class on how to form/grow dreadlocks using the twist and rip method. I need a couple people to volunteer their pictures to show what dreadlocks look like at different ages and to show that you do not need wax to hold dreadlocks together. It doesn't matter what method you used I want to show themwhat the results are from other methods too.Please specify what methodyou used.

There is a black lady in my class who thinks I am stupid for not using wax in my dreadlocks and I want to show her especially how beautiful dreadlocks are when you don't use wax! I also need to know if I can use the picture on this website about not using wax. I am really hoping this will open the eyes of a few people about dreadlocks and their natural beauty. So pleeeease help me out here I know this is short notice but please help me out.

Thank you everyone

Peace and Love,

Mary Hannah

Fellow asians, please share with me your dreading experiences!

I'm not full asian so I can't say for sure your hair will act like mine but my hair was ridiculously straight and fine before I had my daughter. with my first set of dreads I used t'n'r just like I did with this set and it worked out really well. I will say smaller dreads will be better for your hair if it is fine. they do thicken up. but you should have no problem with the t'n'r method if going natural doesn't work. good luck!

I live in what most people towards greenville and columbia would consider the backwoods(oconee county) but I love it here. We generally don't get snow but the summers are extremely humid, but where I live I'm also surrounded by like three lakes.

"you're not doing your dreads right"(funny story)

General Talk

how going to get some liquor lead up to being told I'm not doing my dreads right

So for anyone in the US yesterday I'm pretty sure you heard about the south getting a butt load of snow. Well the day started out with just smokin some weed and playing in the snow, then we got bored with that and we all decided what a wonderful idea(note* sarcasm) it would be to walk to the store and get some liquor.Well I was mainly just playing tag-along because I still had over 3/4 of a bottle of jager, but I needed cigarillos and red bull anyways.

When we finally get to the store(only like a mile away but walking in 7'' of snow makes it seem like 10 miles)and everyone gets what they were wanting my best-friend Kristie's boyfriend Bo decides to call his friend Chris and his friend's old lady Amanda to come get us. At this point I just wanted to get started walking back home because they are taking forever to get there plus I don't like the idea of riding in a car in the ice. Well they finally pull up, but not in what I expected, I was expecting a car big enough for all of us to fit but no they pull up in a two door convertible. So I start walking telling everyone I'll get there when I get there, everyone starts yelling my name and telling me to get in the car it will be fine so I listen to them and then the four of us pile into the back seat (literally) I was on my husbands lap and Kristie was on Bo's lap.

We get started down the road then Bo's friend Chris decides he thinks it a good idea to try to drift, needless to say the car starts sliding like crazy and I start screaming we all made Chris stop and Kristie, My husband and Me start walking back to the house because I'm not trying to get killed by an idiot.

We get home and everyone is all pissed off at each other, but we all eventually get over it and smoke a blunt. Well while smoking said blunt well Chris's old lady Amanda says to me "you're not doing your dreads right". Recommending palm rolling and twisting and wax. So as any level headed person I asked her where she learned this from she smiles and said from "my ex he is black and I had to learn to take care of his dreads". So then I explain the whole t'n'r thing for the millionth time. Then Chris gets into it with her about something to do with dreads. So I stand there and watch the bicker back and forth and then I decided to shut them up because they started talking about my dreads I start yelling and after about ten minutes I get them to shut up and I kindly inform her that "while the dreads I have currently are just babies, I have had a previous set of dreads that I had for over a year and a half and that I'm positive that I know how to take care of my dreads." and after that I got a go to hell look.

So end of story sorry it's so long just felt you might want to know what lead up to us having this conversation because yesterday was pretty fun until the whole car thing.
