My Gilly Bean was one of those nearly bald babies . She had just that little tuft of brown fuzz on top of her round little head and it just seemed to take forever to grow.

But grow it did! And once it started it had no intention of stopping!…

Wow!  I looked back at all my notes and posts and realized that I started this journey only 30 days ago, yet strangely enough it feels like forever.  I say this only because this journey started out from a state of "knot" knowing anything, and yet wanting this so badly. 

I have a long way to go, and in the last 30 days, I haven't friended anyone, not because I do not want to, but because I feel like I have been this needy baby dready taking a tremendous risk and believing I was ready…

Hey guys!

Happy February!!

My dreads are 5 months old today woot!

As some of you may or may not know, my dreads started out as twists that I re-twisted about once every 3 weeks and then it dawned on me, this is a waste of my time. So I stopped re-twisting and have let them dread on their own accord and the results have been tremendous.

They have come such a long way in these short 5 months and I'm looking for more to come.. The dreadies are essentially (for the…

Hello,so i have wanted locks for a veryyyyyy long time.i have now started my long journey! my locs were started with a plastic comb and wax,a very dumb and impatient way.but after watchin youtube videos a came to this site and inspired for natural dreads.i have had them since december 8th and they honestly look like natural dreads of people that have had them a few months.all loose and everything.there is wake holding the tips together but not much and all the rubber bands have been out a…

Reading up on dreading currently. I'm super excited to start. I'm thinking of doing the natural route but I haven't completed my reading up yet so it's still debatable. 

Switched to no-poo today & already my hair feels so amazingly soft, why didn't I try this before? (oh yeah because I loved the smell of my conditioner) I don't like the apple cider vinegar smell, so I may be messing with the recipe some, but I'm really enjoying how my hair feels after only 1 day! 

I'm…

So my dreads are really starting to get messy !

I did the twist and rip method on them but have now decided to start the neglect method, so by doing that I won't be able to help the root hair right?

(sorry they're crazy right now and really messy right…

heeyyaa fellow dreadheads

from my choices in life i'm waiting to go to the gurls school...

and im really hoping they dont make me take out my dreads, iv had em for almost 6 months and their coomin in real nicely. i will be deviated if they made me cut my hair. 

I've been wanting to dread my hair for a while now but i convince myself not to. I work in hardwood floors and there is constant dust all day long. I don't know to much about dreads, i'm assuming that would not be a good thing if you want to grow them naturally. Anything helps.

So. I had started my dreads for the second time on the 1st of December 2011, and right after Christmas I took them out : ( soo im starting again.. for the third time. idk what my obsession with dreads is/ nor what keeps making me comb them out. But this time lets see if i can do it : ) i didnt like the part of my hair before so  i got my hair cut and got my bangs back.. yay.. dreadies again!!  I need to not listen to people when they say they dont want me to have them.. especially my…

So, The reason I haven't been on or posted anything in awhile is that not much has happened. Namely, it was 5 months of natural dreading on Jan. 11. for me, and I only have one natural dread that's now getting kinky. I tn'r-ed a couple, just to see if they would progress faster or slower than the natural one, but they seem to be doing just about the same. 

This is just me telling you about my hair. I am not getting impatient, in fact, I like the phase I'm in. My hair is separated and…

I started my dreads on 12-23-2011 by just losing my brush and using a residue free shampoo. I had tried the back combing method about 7-8 months prior and had screwed it up entirely I had used Dread Wax(the Devil) and had to brush them all out 3 days later. It was a very painful process in which I lost a lot of my hair. Over the next 8 months I let all the short hairs that had ripped try catching up. At first…

Ok let me start off by saying hello to everyone, Im gonna trim through the fat and get right down to it. I am 30 yrs old and have always wanted dreads, But I work in the medical profession and that is frowned upon. Well guess what to bad work because for the past 6 months I have decided to grow out my hair for just one purpose to let it dread. So I figured since I was really interested in seeing how the natural process works I am gonna start a time line to share with others that might be on…

About 2 weeks ago, I sat at the computer as often as possible to research dreadlocks as much as I could. I've been admiring them for a few years now. Just decided I really wanted to do something different with my hair, so why not look into it more seriously this time?



I landed at dreadheadhq and DEVOURED everything on that site. A new internet friend stopped me in my tracks and pointed me here. I can't…

I've been dreading for 8 months now, i started with back combing but my dreads will not stick together so i decided to use the crochet method now I don't want to crochet them anymore because i have one dread that i left by itself and i prefer the texture of the natural one, should i just leave my hair alone so it will dread by itself?

Hello all,

I've never kept a blog more than like 3 posts but I figured maybe since I go to this site so much anyways perhaps I would keep one here =/ maybe.

Right now I am feeling dread regret... maybe it's going around because I saw a few other people feeling the same. I don't mean dread regret that I want to go back to my "normal" hair, I honestly didn't like it very much anyways. What I am regretting is doing twist and rip. My sections have gotten kind of, um, mad at me…

So I made it almost two weeks with my "dread"ed journey.  I finally got the blessing of my husband in that he understands that dreads are something I have wanted for a very long time and that it is something spiritual for me.  So he relaxed his position and even started teasing me....telling me that i could no longer talk to him unless I spoke in "pirate".

I understand that this is a long progress, and  honestly, I have seen some of the baby photos posted here and some are absolutely…

soo latley ive really been missing my hair, been tempted to take out my dreads but i just keep remembering what happened last time i cried and started dreading them 3 days after i took out my first set,

so i decided maybe i just need a change... so i bought a box dye,  it said brown on the box but i guess since my hair was so light it rected weird,

anyways i eneded up with black hair, i was freaking outt!!!!!! it looked so fake on me, i have naturally dirty blonde hair and…

Ive been having sleeping problems for a while and i'm SO TIRED! but i managed to 'borrow' some beads from work today that coincidently are very similar like the ones i was looking at last night.
