Oh the guilt!

So I have a very close friend that refuses to listen to anything that I say about her locks. She she refused to let her hair lock up naturally in the beginning and I gave in and helped her back-comb her hair. Then she complained and complained about how they weren't maturing fast enough and started using wax. So a week ago she asked me to order her this stuff called "Lock Peppa" from...wait for it...Dread HQ! She is a very close friend and a complete Hippy that refuses to have any form of a creidt card, thus I come into play. I was so hesitant, but I love her dearly. Is it sad that I felt the need to explain in their comment box when I was ordering it for her, that it wasn't for me and I was only doing this as a favor, lol. What the hell is Lock Peppa anyways??? I read the description and I don't understand how it is different from wax...? Anyone ever used this stuff? and what the hell is it really for? It seems like wax would do the same exact thing from what I read.

its funny cause i know what you mean, my older brother, started dreads a few months ago and he uses wax..... its sad, my own brother, hes 10 yrs older, and i too warned him of the evils of wax, but he was like, i been around and know some people back west and from his travels that wax and got the nicest locks you will ever see......... i just laugh, cause he thinks hes wise and dont listen to me, he hasnt seen me since i started my locks, natural : ), so i cant wait to see his after his few months of wax, up against mine, some people just think thew know and dont want to listen when your just tryin to help........ its crazy...... and funny, but its their hair all you can do is warn them and hope they go about it the right way.........

Tell your friend to do the following:1. Make salt water (Mix at least one or two teaspoons of salt with at least eight ounces of water)2. Pour salt water into a spray bottle (If the salt water is hot let it cool down before continuing to #3)3. Spray salt water onto her dreadlocks4. Let the salt water dry.5. Rinse the salt out.6. Go outside and enjoy the wind.The salt water mixture will make her hair coarser and make her dreadlocks knot and matte together a little bit faster.

Yup..and it will easily do more than lock peppa ever could GoldenEagle said:

I have a similar problem with a friend, but at least he isn't using wax. He just maintains constantly and complains about loose hairs. You can show them the truth all you want, but in the end, it is up to them to make the decision. You can only hope for the best.

yesterday i seen my brother...... it looked waxy and gross, i wanted to slap some scents into him, but when those who dont heed your warning, then they just got to learn the hard way..... neil coe said:

Sorry guys, I haven't been back on the site for a while and am now just reading all of these comments. So after I placed the order, weeks went by with no nothing. I called and e-mailed Dread HQ and they said that they had no record of my order, wtf? I paid through Paypal and all. Finally, I got pissed and stated that I was going to file the issue with Paypal. The product was finally sent out and they were quite apologetic, said it was Paypals fault. One funny thing though, is that the girl at Dread HQ said that hadn't recieved any orders since January of 2010, lmfao. No orders the whole year? lol, not very popular they are. When I got the order, I quickly put some in my hand to see what this shit was. It seemed just like baby powder. My friend was delighted though. She said it worked really well for loose hairs. To each his own, I guess. lol.
