Week 2
I'm about 2 weeks into this journey. It feels like my dreads are already starting to take form. It's an exciting feeling when I wake up and all of my hair is happily clumped into baby dreads.
I'm up to 39 dreads so far. I have a feeling this may increase though due to the fact that some of my larger dreads seem to want to separate. I've been helping them do so and figure it's best for my hair to decide what he wants to do.…

First off I should explain a bit about why I chose to have my dreads formed. I have struggled with almost an obsessive/compulsive nature about my appearance for years, to the point where it impacts how I go about my day. I had a routine in the morning that would take exactly an hour and forty five minutes on a good day. Now, this was not simply out of vanity. I would literally feel that something was off if I did something out of order, or if something looked different than how I usually put…

Hello fellow dreadies, yogis, and friends;
I recently got a job at an amazing Yoga studio. I new before I got the job that I wanted to start my Yoga practice more seriously, in hopes to start my teacher training in the next few months. I always new I loved yoga. However, when I took a Yoga class, it was at my college and something about it didn't hit home the way this studio does. I work the FD as of right now, and have met so many amazing people. So many CONSCIOUS people. Who aren't…

I was a little disturbed today when I read a posting that had a disagreement on it. I was so disappointed to read that a member resorted to name calling on the post. Really? Adults name calling? It is so unnecessary to treat another human being in that manner. We are adults here, we are friends here, we have never met but like each other here, we help each other here.
I hope in the future, any and all members have the free will to post their point of views, the freedom to post their…

Hello to all my dreadhead friends here on dreadlockssite!
I'm making this blog post because there are a lot of protests going on Brazil, especially here on São Paulo against the increase of bus fare. The increase of 0.10 dollar cents is a lot for us, because most of us receives just an minimum wage of something like $300.
Now the worker who receives the minimum wage have to pay at least 20% of its wage just to go to work and go back to home 5 days a week, and…

Here we go...
I have been thinking about dreadlocks for quite some time now. Recently, I have been taking breaks from brushing my hair, just tying it up. However, once the back becomes too matted, I break down, put massive amounts of conditioner in it,…

Growth...
Added by Flowerchild on June 15, 2013 at 12:13pm — 8 Comments

It's been over 3 months now since I decided to stop brushing.
I've told a few people, and I'm kind of waiting for the rest to notice... how long before they ask, I wonder. There's no way that no one has noticed that I'm not brushing my hair anymore. It just looks different... to me, it's stark, but then I have to remember that I am working with some seriously unobservant men. …

I just read a post by another member who ranted in part about the advice given on what not to do when growing dreadlocks. Through years of knowledge, members will share the dangers of certain methods. Why do we give a shit??? Because we care, because we want you to be able to grow your dreads for life if you so choose to. You don't have to take any advice given, make your own decision for your own journey.
I am 100% against crochet hooks, YET, I created a group for those of you who…

What to do?
So a few months ago I decided to re-dread my hair. I wanted to do it the natural *free form* way so I stopped brushing my hair. Nothing happened. I don't understand why it didn't tangle at all. It's not that long, only about 4-5 inches. So I waited about two months and decided maybe try the twist and rip method. I twisted them in about 3 weeks ago and they fell out! I got so frustrated that I spent so much time on…

Progress
So I'm up to about 25 dreads now. I've been casually adding them in with the t&r method whenever my hair has started to clump together in the back.
Tonight, I'll be giving the baking soda wash a try for the first time. Prior to this, I've just been using the neutrogena anti-residue shampoo to get all the extra crap out of my hair. I'm pretty excited to give this a try, as is my scalp.
