Dread Maintenance

I was just wondering if anyone had any natural ways to get rid of frizz i use shae butter usually but dont like the feel that it leaves behind it makes it feel oily i read something about using a towel on a forum and there was a video included but it was removed.

is it normal for 1 month old backcombed dreads to not look like dreads?

Dread Maintenance

ya and i think when i backcombed i didnt do it "alot" just enough to get it knotted because they arent actually puffy and didnt lose that much length at all and the frizz is at a minimum mainly you can see it when you get up close only. except if i dont tend to the frizz for multiple days. and they are starting to take shape better as well. also this is kind of off the topic but how small can dreads be to dread cuz i have a couple pretty small dreads in the front that im a little worried about there just a little behind compared to the other ones and is there a way to put 2 dreads together into one dread or does that come naturally im guessing. sorry that i kind of got off topic

is it normal for 1 month old backcombed dreads to not look like dreads?

Dread Maintenance

Ive had my dreads for a little bit more than a month and im wondering if it takes awhile for the dreads to start looking like dreads i used the backcombing method unfortunately before i found this website. my dreads are all sectioned out and locking up good but it just looks like matted down hair i get comments about how they dont actually look like dreads i was just wondering if it takes a little longer.

they can..if you let them but your saying they when you were talking to a he or she not a they

thats why you have to ignore the he or she and request the legal documents that explain the polocies of the they.

the person you spoke to is not a representative of company polocy they are themselves an employee of that companie

employees do not always do as the company expects them tio

you have to know exactly how the company polocty is worded

I am trying to find some ways to earn money during the summer to help my parents out with money because of the bad economy we have. i applied for a job and they turned me down because i had dreadlocks and they saw it as unproffesional. But they do prohibit facial tattoos and huge gauges and splitting your tounge in half like some people do. I dont have any thing against these things but i feel dreads are just as or even more proffesional than those things so why shouldnt i be aloud to get some money to help my family?
