2 things can make alotta difference..salt..beads

yes i agree. beads do help. i did wear a wool hat for like the first three months too but then stopped. a hat usually gets on my nerves, i like for my dreads to be free.

dreadlocks started since dreadlocks site started

Dreadlock Picture Gallery

you are too kind brother. =P i loved every minute of it and i didnt care what anyone had to say. i was already somewhat patient but i can tell you.. it has made me way more in that regard. i did get alot of comments like "your hair doesnt look like dreads" or "why dont you do it this way, it looks messy" then i would always have to explain myself on how its not about what it looks like to me. its about being free, connecting with yourself, taking that leap and letting go.. not just some hairstyle.. dont get me wrong though a lot of ppl i ran into my first year did love my hair. =]

the timeline might be a few days off but mostly it is all right. i started letting my hair go at the end of october in 2009. i stopped conditioning and brushing, just ripped apart. i wouldnt do anything differently really, i am happy with the all natural method i chose. one mistake was at three months i did a baking soda tea tree oil rinse and it softened my hair up dramatically, i probably used too much of one ingredient and it took a lot of the knottyness out. it has been a fun journey so far and i cant wait to see what else they do. thank you dreadlockssite and SE. you've all been a great help =)

Dreading Methods

I love Halloween!!

General Talk

i know halloween is over but i was a foxy lady... and two days after halloween i was at the store, dressed how i normally am and some guy walked passed me and was like "groovy, nice halloween costume" HAHAHA i was like "thanks i guess, but its no halloween costume, this is daily for me".. guess some ppl arent used to seeing long colorful skirts, dreads, or tie dye clothing. i just got a kick out of that so i had to post. =P

my doggy has a infection. help!

General Talk
