So latley researching Dreadlocks and relions and spirtual factors i have been doing yoga everyday and i feel like i am be coming at peace with myself, i feel amzing in the person i am slowly becoming haveing dreads makes me feel even more into the " jah rastafari " peaceful life. This is how i feel. i feel more relaxed and calm. i think alot of people should try to be at peace with life and how things happen. I use to be a very selfish person till i finally gave myself to god and nature and i stoped caring what people have to say because as long as im happy no one can stop me from what iwanna do just live your life like no one is watching (:

So for a while i thought i knew all about dreads, well i was wrong there is alot to know besides washing, starting them, and taking care of them. of course while getting dreads you research it and learn about them, but when i researched i learned alot of false actions to do with dreads. if you truley want healthy and natrually beatiful dreads you have to be 100% patient and let nature take the way. i was told twisting you hair while wet is good for the dreads. FALSE, correction very bad for the dreads you hair will end up falling out! People tell me why are you doing that to your hair its groo you cant wash it. WRONG, obvously those people do not know what dreads are all about. its not just a hair style its a commitmet and spiritual thing. you can wash your hair like you normaly did. some people are dirty about them but there are also very clean hippies (:

I'm a 17 male and my hair is thick and straight.I've read the whole dread guide but i was wondering if soaringeagle or someone else can tell me pretty detailed on how to start my dreads from the very beginning. I want to do the twist and rip method because I want the dreads pretty neat. I have really straight hair so is there anything special I need to do? also what is the best maintainace to keep them from smelling and stay clean. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help. thanks!

SO today its been about 2 weeks that ive had dreadlocks. I wash my hair everyday or every other day, i have not yet had a problem with them coming out? Some people say you have to use a certine type of soap for dreads, i dont go by that i do everything the same except brush, use conditioner, and style. after after i wash them i simply part them and twist everyone because when there wet is when the cois open up and grab hold of the surrounding hairs. its very importaint to twist your dreads once a week for beginners. i would LOVE to helpyou guys with your dreadlocks and help you unerstand the belief in them thanks for reading ask any questions you would like <3

My head is really dry and stuff and I can't find any solution to fix it. I've used all the products on the site including the tea tree bar but my head goes dry like 5 hours after I wash it. What kind of dr Bronners shampoo do I get?

So funny thing my grandmother had asked/said to me as we were still at the family Christmas dinner tonight. She asked me when the last time I combed my hair was. And I told her about 3 months ago. And she laughed. I love that this time around. She has Wally come along way of accepting me the way I want to be. She is off the boat from hungry. So very old country. I am now the second generation here in America. Sometimes she just doesn't get it. But that's what I love about her. She is a very interesting lady and proud to have her as my grandmother.

I have a few dreadlocks that are over 1 inch, some up to 3 inches wide. They seem to be doing well and have tightened up very much. I just recently read a blog thread that said you should separate dreads that are too big. Yet mine are in there pretty tightly with the ends completely locked up.My question: do I have to somehow rip apart these locked up dreads? Or are they okay the way they are?Any advice or help is welcome.

Had to brush my hair out a while back, so on to take two.

It's beet three days since Iaccidentallyon purpose lost my brush, oops.

You guys dig my shower curtain?

Hey everyone.

I love love love my dreads even if they look like shit right now (messy, frizzy). I know that I will really miss them if I comb them out. But the thing is,my family is making me fell so bad about having them that I just can't take it no more. I listend to them about my hair for 10 months, every day. My brother is the worst. He's really mean to me about my dreads and I don't think he understands how that affects me. like, tooday he said: You're so ugly, look how knotted your hair is, why don't you comb it out... I don't know what to do anymore. I think that maybe this isn't the right time for me to have dreads and i can always have them back. But Iove them so much. Although, maybe I need a change. But I'm so attached to them it hurts. I don't know what to do ...
