Riel replied to Riel's discussion Good or bad way to create dreads?"the RnT method is one of the LEAST damaging methods. its right under the all natural way of dreading. Your telling me it will wash out. Maybe it won't HAIR TYPE has everything to do with how your dreads will or will not form. …"

"What does that have to do with anything? damaging your hair is damaging your hair. We might not all wash the same to keep it healthy, but we do all avoid certain actions to keep it healthy"
Riel replied to Riel's discussion Good or bad way to create dreads?"And to be completely factual your hair is probably different from mine. I know for a fact it is because im a natural red head."
Profile Information
- About Me
- After watching a few youtube videos just being curious of natural dreadlocks I became rather intrigued by the idea of it. Being "free" not having to look like a cookie cutter perfect haired droid like everyone else is ideal. Even when I was using shampoo conditioner, deep hair masks and 5 thousand other products to get my hair to do what I wanted I still refused to brush it loving the fuller messy look I already naturally have. I am Hygiene obsessed which has dug a whole in my pocket when I actually did have money and studying about natural dreads have changed all that for me. Showering every 3 days GREAT im so sick of the routine "you should shower everyday or every 2 days" I have sensitive skin its hard for me to keep my moisture in the winter and then in the summer I have to use things to strip all the oil and moisture im producing T.T you can imagine how frustrating this is. Since ive been watching my entire body with Dr.Bronners Magic Soap I have YET to need lotion in the middle of winter. I also barley have to put deodorant on when im usually applying it 2-3 times a day. I went from having a whole system in my shower down to 4 times and 3 that I mainly use. I plan on switching EVERYTHING to all natural and organic products. This life change makes me feel better about my freedom as a human it gives me more time to do w/e I want instead of caring about my hair. Saves alot of money and space in my bathroom! which is always a win. SO that is why I'm here just to get some good natural tips for my new forming dreads. I use Dr.Bronners Magic Soap the TeaTree one. An thats it right now I have alot of questions so here I am!
About me other then dreads:

I am newly a Vegetarian soon to be Vegan for my health and upcoming career this coming spring I plan on get into some modeling as I almost did before and things just kept coming up and getting in the way. I love tattoos and Piercings. I find some plugs to be very beautiful but Im not a big fan of stretching out my ears. Im an artist of all different kinds from Music, Art, Drawing, Painting, Crafts, Designing, Writing, Writing lyrics to Poetry. I love to study things anything of interest I value intelligence a great deal. I love movies...umm there's alot about me I am not a simple person lol I'm trying to switch over to everything all natural and earth friendly.
