Supportive parents?
Dreads in the Family
I was just wondering if I was the only one here with ultra-supportive parents...I'm lucky enough to have a mum and dad who are supportive with anything I decide to do and help me every step of the way. They have always encouraged me with my music, school work and now with my dreads.I was thinking that maybe other people with supportive parents dread-wise could share how their parents and families have helped them. Maybe we could get our parents to write some kind of letter to other people who are having issues with their parents? Like a supportive parent of dreadhead to an unsupportive parent of dreadhead.I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there.

The Moose's Quest For Dreadlocks
Member Journals and Timelines
Thanks for the help SE - yeah, I'd rather go as natural as possible. I was only considering twist/rip to make it easier for me to section.Hadn't been able to find much info for people like me with "too easily" dreaded hair. Most people have the opposite problem. heheMight try the 'knot rip knot' and then bead like you suggested.
Oh, and I'm going to be starting me dreadlock journey in the next few days now that I'm finishing off all of my final assignments and can properly focus on my dreads.
The Moose's Quest For Dreadlocks

I'm planning on starting my dreadlock journey in a few weeks with twist/rip to section and then continue with the natural/neglect method from there. I just I'd start with discussion and post a few pics of my undreaded hair in preparation for when I start the dreads.My hair knots so easy that I think I'll have a relatively easy dreadlock journey compared to come people here. I've looked as a lot of pictures of how people look with the natural method and I've worked out that after only 12 hours after brushing my hair completely knot free, it has made the same progress as most people have made after several weeks. Like, I can already see my hair naturally sectioning itself after 24 hours.That's why I've decided to loosely twist and rip my hair into sections when I finally do start growing my dreads. I think that my hair is so easily knotted, it would grow into one uni-lock before I knew it and really had to section properly. I've actually woken up after 2 days of not brushing and had to spend an hour brushing the back of my hair from a 'beaver tail'.I spend so much time trying to keep my hair knot free, I feel like I am fighting against my hair's natural want to dread. I think it's trying to tell me that my purpose in life is to have dreadlocks. haha Just look at the attached pictures.Anyway, I look forward to joining the world of the dread soon.

Yes, they are indeed an amazing band. I'm lucky enough to come from their home city (Adelaide, Australia) as well. I also like Evoken, Thergothon & Loss just to name a few.
AliveAsTheDead said: Mournful Congregation is an amazing band...All of their material is great. What other funeral doom do you like?

Sorry guys for not replying earlier, been busy with Year 12 (senior year) homework and exam revision.Yeah, ambient drone and funeral doom isn't for everyone. If anything I listen to more acoustic folk, funk, blues and reggae lately. Each to their own I guess.
Thanks for the warm welcomes...

Hey everyone,I'm MooseHead...real name Tom. You can call me Tom, Tommy, Moose, Moosehead, Moosie, -THE- Moose, The Moosemeister General, Oi You...whatever you want. ;DI don't have dreads yet, but I plan to start via twist/rip to section and then go natural in a few weeks once school is finished here in Aus so that I can go that little while of unbrushed hair. My hair will dread really easy since after just one day of not brushing, I can already see the beginnings of dreads appear.I love meeting interesting, friendly people and this community seems to be full of them.I am a passionate musician. My primary instrument and which I spend the majority of my time improving my skills on is the bass guitar. I recently got 90-95% for my practical music exams of my final year at school, so I believe I'm doing alright at it. :P I also play acoustic guitar, electric guitar and piano/keyboard. I also know the basics of saxophone, clarinet, trombone and trumpet. I can write interesting drum lines, but I don't have the physical drumming skills to back up my drum writing skills. hahaI listen to large variety of music from Death Metal, to Funeral Doom, to Ambient Drone, to Reggae, to Funk, to Blues, to Acoustic, to Jazz and everything in between. An example of my favourite artists are: Sunn O))) (Ambient Drone), Mournful Congregation (Doom), Portal (Avant Guarde), Newton Faulkner (Acoustic), John Butler Trio (Acoustic), Bob Marley (Reggae) etc.I am very interested in science, in particular physics and plan to utilize my mathematical skills to study theoretical computational physics at univeristy in 2011 after I do extra maths and physics at school next year. Sounds simple, huh? :P I love understanding how the universe works as a whole and want to contribute to the exciting research that physics and discover more about our extistence.I looked into growing dreadlocks a while back but was put off by how crappy and 'side-show bob like' the backcombed dreads looked and how much money I had to spend on products that I thought was necessary at the time. I've since discovered this site and ready nearly every topic in every section. I'm just glad that the cynical scientific part of my personality brought me to further research dreadlocks past Dreadhead HQ and KnottyBoy.Woah, I feel like I've written an essay. I will give a cookie to all of those that bothered reading my ranting. hahaI look forward to getting to know other dreadlock enthusiasts.Cheers,MooseHead (or Tom, Your Holy Holiness, That Dude without dreads etc.):P

Dreading Methods
I love that Jesus possibly had dreads. Gives me yet another argument on my behalf for my extremely religious grandparents who will most likely be against my decision to dread.
