Your dread story
General Questions
Okay, i got my dreads going about 5 years ago, got them at the end of jan 2005, i got them for various reasons the main one because i love the way they look..I started them by going to glastonbury town and paying some woman 100 quid, big regret she didnt do the tightly at all and she used home made beeswax which completly messed them up and made me sticky.. if i could go bak i would deffinutly not use wax, even thought its so easy to use it so they look tidy, but the natural way is so much cleaner! you realise this when later down the line ur pulling out clumps of mess and redoing them urself :P i found that dread wrapping some of mine helped them mature and harden alot quicker, and i still have some wraps in from 2005 and its a great reminder of the first year i had them =DI had always wanted dreads from a very early age, i loved the people i met who had them and completly adored any man who had dreadlocks and nose piercings so i went about my way to get them for myself, i decided to get them after i left school as i knew i would only have grief if i had them during my schooling years, my mother was keen on the idea, my auntie hated it and offered me a grand to not get them, i declined and am so happy coz now they have matured beautifully =DI aspire to be a grannie with dreadlocks x
