General Talk

i have goals, and i have plans for life. i know i will make it all costs, and i know it isn't impossible. i just find it odd that she supports it, but says i still have to get rid of them. i plan to get a job when i turn 18 in early august, and just save for a car. then ill go to school and blah blah. thanks for the words..im glad i have complete support out there somewhere.

General Talk

so i absolutely love my dreadlocks. they are 3 months in and doing good....but my grandma..who i live with, is telling me that i should backcomb or twist and rip to make them and enjoy them until i have to get a job, then take em out.....she says that you have to "do" something to them, that its more than just not brushing your hair. i tell her that i want to keep them, and i don't want to take them out, or "make" them. her response is either, well how are you going to get a job, or life changes and something is going to happen where you can't have them anymore, and you would've wasted time, when they don't even "look" like dreads....it isn't discouraging me, kinda pissin me off actually. i don't think my hair should hold me back from doing anything in life, and it seems ridiculous that someone would think that. i don't really know what to do here..i know im not taking them out, and i know im not backcombing, so how do i get her off my back..how do i explain to her, that i am passionate about this, that i am becoming attatched to my locs, who are starting to get names lol, and im watching them grow..i don't want to "make" them, its soooo much more intriguing to watch them form. my grandmother is smart and stubborn, and believes herself to always be right.....maybe there is nothing i can do....and she won't shave my head...but, idk man..thoughts?

DREADLOCKS IN BALI

Dreading Methods

wow, don't gotta be rude dude, and mine are natural and i don't believe they look like shit...and most of the people on here with natural dreads look badass...so i wouldn't be throwing belligerent words around.if you didn't want advice, shouldn't have asked..

DREADLOCKS IN BALI

Dreading Methods

can i ask why you don't want to do natural, if you want them to look good, then you should look at the tab dreading methods, there's alot of different ways you can do. why do you want them "in" bali, what makes it different from where you are. if you want them to last and look nice, then don't use wax!

I need to pass a drug test plz help,....

General Questions

good luck, at one time i drank certos, which is like this "jelly" "gellatin" type stuff and you stick it in your gatorade, and you have to drink then drink alot of water and go pee before you go to the appt. i've failed and passed a few...and sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. one time when i thought they weren't going to test me after not testing me the first two times going in, i decided to smoke a rillo, with two friends.....next time i went they tested me, got out of it. luckily. i said i smoked right before i got put on...it also matters on the p.o...you never know, you might not even get one, depending on the circumstances and all that hoo hah.

i still have this thin layer of what i believe to be leftover bs, dirt that doesn't come off during wash, and things that stick to my hair from the air. now i've tried to just use cold water and bs, but it still doesn't work....i don't know where to get oils, i have fresh rosemary but dont know if rosemary tea will help....what should i do exactly?
