Over twisting.
Introduce Yourself
Does anyone get bored and sit and over twist their dreads? I have broke one or two off doing that. It's like awww. Now I have to nurse this one lil spot for months.

About to dye my dreads.
Introduce Yourself
Thank you! I did it. It does dry them out. BUt me being a black woman any way I have to put moisturizer in my hair. Jessica said:
I have dyed mine and i personally think it dries them out a lot. The hair at the bottom of my locks feels really fake and damaged and the upper part that has been growing like 6 years feels sooo different! Our hair textures are different though and would probably have different results. If you want to dye them go for it! Either way they will look great!

Has anyone left their dreads just natural in color? What about mistakes? One time I dyed mine ethiopian brown. LOL!

who here has dreads and isn't Rastafarian?
General Talk
I'm not Rastafarian and not very spiritual either. I started my locs to be natural weave and chemical free. All I know is that there is a man in the bible that had 7 locs upon his head. I can't remember his name. So it goes all the way back to bible days and they didn't have combs then. Africans also would wear them.

Just curious. What are you rubbing on your scalp? If anything. Or do you just massage? Jim the Kraken said:
I just started my second set and I'm still in my akward stage too. My hair is long enough to stay down, but it just looks like I haven't combed my hair, since I'm going natural, and it's kindofa mess. I rub my scalp everyday and take omega 3 fish oils to promote faster healthier hair growth so it might cut the akward stage a little short.

Well at first they weren't laying the way I wanted them to. My friend thought they looked cool sticking up everywhere but I didn't. I also had a problem with breakage and had to cut back twice. Now I'm waiting for them to just grow. I can't wait. It really does test your patience.

How have you guys managed to get through your awkward stage? Or are you still in it?

Loving My Dreads.
General Talk
I am finally free! No more weaves and it is so liberating. Being a black woman I have struggled with my hair forever. Now I don't have to worry, and it has never been more beautiful than it is now in it's all natural state.

Hiya, just made my 1st dread (just one!)
Introduce Yourself
Hi, I have a professional career and have dreads. They haven't stopped me from achieving goals and reaching my dreams. As long as you keep them neat and clean you should be fine. My friend is in the same kinda work and hasn't had a problem and she is Caucasian as well. Good luck.
