how do i stop dreads that only want to congo

Dread Maintenance

Hey man long time no see! You just kind of have to keep ripping them appart, or put beads on them. I've also heard that excessive ripping can lead to thinning of dreads. I battled my dreads from becoming congos but they naturally wanted to congo so I just let them do what they wanted, I lost the battle but I love my congos

Dandruff ;[

Dread Maintenance

Dandruff usually is caused by awkward temperature change, or being exposed to extremely hot or cold weather. And like SE said baking soda is actually one of the cures for dandruff.

Hitchiking to new York city

I would try to pack light but not to light, kind of prepare for the worst especially if no one picks you up except for a cop, haha.Plan for rain, and cold, nothing sucks more then being hungry cold and wet.Canned food is pretty cheap,+can opener and most gas stations or convient stores have a microwave, it always helps to bring a single burner propane stove, if your in the middle of no where. YMCA's have showers, sometimes if you talk to store owners they will be nice and let you sleep in entrance of the store.Good luck, and sometimes you can find good people to give you rides on craigslist. Are you planning on any trains or bus's, and if you end up in philly hit me up

more problems with employer ughh.....

General Talk

So are you gonna cut your hair for "The Man" and use he's money and fall into greed. Or are you gonna, keep your dreads and find working for a person that is that closed minded isn't worth it. But then again I know little about you, and if you cut them it's not like its going to be like an identity crisis. I've met people that thought everyone with long hair did drugs, maybe your boss is worried. Money or dreads? I didn't mean to come off mean if I did, I'm not sorry! I'm not sorry

Buy a fan or air conditioner and stay next to it. I kind of feel liKe summers coming to an end and it start will start getting cold and there will be snow on the ground in 6 months, so I'm going to embrace this heat and enjoy it, burn baby BURN!

How heavy are your locks?

Introduce Yourself

Mine feel heavy sometimes especially when their wet, I don't usually get headaches from them tho. I get a sore neck sometimes tho from dancing/headbanging. I have a giant congo where my rat tail should be so, that probly contributes to the pain. I just get frequent neck masasages.
