Robyn replied to Jenni Macnair's discussion Crochet Hook"I don't have any personal experience with the hook but from all the people I have seen come through here it is very very damaging to dreads...3 Years old natural dreads? :) I would just leave them be and keep on growing healthy locks :)"

NaturalWomyn said… - I always used just baking soda no oils, no acv, that plus swimming in the ocean really helped my hair tangle up fast! I really like dr. bronners tea tree. If your scalp is getting too dry from the baking soda try (if u haven't already) putting some very diluted acv in a squirt bottle and only squirt it onto your scalp so it doesn't soften your hair too much. I would probably ease up on the oils too if your progress has been a lil slow. Good Luck! Much Love

vip supportersandy macleod said… - thank you! think it helps im a dreadhead, i see no benefits in negativity, all it does is make things more difficult/worse :) i am healing incredibly quick apparently and im hopefully getting my leg next week! cant wait to get back on my bike too haha yea saw your picture of the knots on the back of your head, very well done for being determined enough to keep going with the neglect method for so long, major respect! aw nice, ive just ordered more beads, i had quite a few, and in usual dreadhead way each one meant something, but they were taken out for my scans after the accident and i never got them back! gutted haha but the ones ive ordered are nicer, ill get some pictures up when i get them all in. ah nice, i cant wait to get back to the highlands, cities are horrible haha yea the course is amazing and i cant wait to get back to that either and all the outdoor sports, its a brilliant life! x

- Hi! That's awesome! I need to update with some recent pics, I think the newest ones I have posted are 7 months?? That was 5 months ago and they have changed quite a bit. I really need to buy a new camera, your pics are all so clear what type of camera do you use?? Your dreads look amazing as well! Much Love
