Profile Information
- About Me
- I'm a registered nurse, a runner, and I started my
Dreadlock journey on November 13,2010. I have a
partner of nine years I'm nuts about, and a nineteen
year old son who is just amazing. I'm into natural living, vegetarian eating, and reducing my mark on the planet.
- How long have you been dreading?
- Since November 13,2010
- Dreading methods, maintenance, and products used (if you currently have dreads)
- The first month or so I was a palm-rolling, clockwise-rubbing DHHQ fool. THEN I found this site, yay!! I felt like wax was a wrong thing for my hair, and this site verified that as truth. I did all the wax removal stuff, and I feel like it's out. I never applied as much or as often as directed anyway.
Now I've been washing twice a week, and separating, and watching the loops and lumps and bumps and squiggles abound. That's good, right?
I do wish I knew someone around here who was supportive of dreadlocks. Rgiht now I am just counting myself lucky to have found dreadlock tolerance in my friends, family and employers tho!!
