General Talk
HAHAHAahahhaha i love this guy arnold he seems like a great dood hahahahhgood luck with that trip man and God speed!!!Nams
I don't understand...You don't choose what size you want your dread to be when you separate. You just separate the dreads that are trying to grow together. You don't choose anything except that they don't grow together...
i remember a loctition on myspace advertising natural dreads so i asked her how a locyition can do natural dreads and she said "natural dreads are just dreads made from hair, not synthetic" so i asked how she makes these "natural dreads" she said i braid them with yarn and sythetic hair added to your own hnatural hair then seal it with hair glue they sew the roots and finaly felt wool onto the outside of the dreads
and these are being advertised as natural dreads
this is precisely why i think the meanning must be relatively precise ..meaning little to no effort put into forming them..allowing time to do all the work.
in a way wool rubbing would be naturalish but i dont think most who start by wool rubbing consider them truly natural
(unless the rubbing was the result of scratchin an itch thru a wool hat
There is no real boundaries. I've seen people on the internet call their dreads "natural" when they backcombed and crotcheted and all that crap. Natural is natural. Free form is natural with no separation but some do separate theirs and they still call it free form...
But anyways, I saw this lady with dreads on youtube and she was talking to a natural dreadhead. She said, "I like natural dreads but they get too thin that they break off. That is why I do twists." and WOW, her dreads were so tiny/thin and they looked ready to just fall off any second...I don't who she was trying to convince...maybe herself? haha. Seriously, her dreads were so thin and brittle looking it looked as if they'd fall off if you looked at them wrong. It was so obvious that she was twisting wayyy too much. lol, sorry about this rant. I just remembered that for some reason.
soaringeagle said:keep in mind this is my understanding and i know theres a difference between the "flavors" of natural freeform. organic , neglect but couldnt accurately rtell u which is which,..lol 1 is no seperating no interferance (freeform i think?) organics simular with seperation? i think maybe someone can clarift..
