Homemade flaxseed gel on dreads?

I was planning on making some flaxseed gel for my kids hair, and I started thinking if I could use them on my dreads(to pull in loose hair that keep going into wrong dreads). I was going to add a bit of essential oils like lavender and rosemary.What is you guys opinion on this? would love to know!Thanks :)See More

Profile Information

About Me
Started my deadlock journey on March 27, 2012.

My hair was 2.5 inches when I started this journey.

I started off with comb twist with gel at a shop(not a best idea for my hair texture I realized).

A week later, I twisted and ripped all of my already sectioned hair.

I'm gonna try my best to not fiddle with my hair so much, so it can do its own thing from now on :)


...........

Few other things about me...

I am a mommy(and a wife fyi) of two(3yrd daughter plus 18month son)

I am an artist(love drawing and painting)

I crochet hats(too much fun)

I am a licensed cosmetologist

I am very much into body modifications

I am Japanese and black(I speak the language too)

I love singing

*I know a thing or two about body modifications. So if you have questions, let me know!! :D


Music I Love...

Civil Wars, Gotye, Lady Gaga, Studio Killers, Utada Hikaru, Shiina Ringo, etc...


Movies that I love...

Whispers of the heart, Nausicaa the valley of the wind, rent, phantom of the opera, Harry Potter, Eternal Sunshine of Spotless mind, etc...



Anything else you would like to know, or wanna talk to me, feel free to message me :)
How long have you been dreading?
since march, 27, 2012! :)
Dreading methods, maintenance, and products used (if you currently have dreads)
Twist and rip and left to dread on its own :)

I changed my washing method to bs wash with rosemary and lavender, plus acv rinse :)

I just wash and separate for maintenance.

8 weeeeks update!

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 1:21pm 4 Comments

So today I hit the 8weeks mark!

my dread babies are knotting up good, but 60% of my hair is undreaded. They do feel frizzy, fuzzy and springy tho.

I hope in couple months, my hair will start sectioning its self more and start getting tangled up!

crafty crafters

they are coming along just fine :)

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 11:01pm 2 Comments

I am very excited about my hair, day by day.



After I got rid of the residue that was built up in my hair, my hair has been so much better! They seems to be getting fuzzy and frizzy :)



And I know that I have about 17 babies(give or take), and they aren't going anywhere! Some parts of my hair seems like they are trying to section themselves together which is wonderful!



I know that my hair is short, but I see some progress and I am just so excited and happy… Continue

Hello super clean hair!! Good bye dr. bronners!

Posted on May 5, 2012 at 2:30pm 13 Comments

So I've decided to wash my hair with Dr.b for the second time...



And my hair got sticky and cloudy... I don't know why this happened(we have soft water) but I was totally grossed out and fed up!



So I got dressed and went to local professional hair care supply store to grab my favorite clarifying shampoo from pravana...



After one wash.... My hair felt no longer sticky, and got its color back! My scalp feels good too!! I think this is what I needed... Deeeeep… Continue

Ahhh its been 5 weeks and 3 days since I started my dreadlock journey.



Thanks to my hair being super short, I can't really tell if my hair is progressing or not :/



I have naturally curly hair(50% Japanese 50% Black), but thin, fine, and dry naturally... But I have oily scalp lol. I have the weirdest hair!



I'll say 40% have came undone(tnr method), but I'm fine with that. I will not be re twisting or tnr my hair. Just letting the nature do its thing… Continue
