Lint

I got some lint in some of my dreads in the back, probably from my pillow when sleeping i guess, but any way, i noticed it the other day and its driving my crazy. Can't get it out no matter how much i wash. Any suggestions?

You could try soaking your dreads in black tea...it will stain the link dark and make it less visibleLint doesn't cause harm it's just unsightly...so make it invisible

Yea, in in my black hair, it seems like it looks real obvious. I'll try that. but where wouldi find black tea? It is only in a couple of dreads at the back near the nape of my neck, so I almost thought about cutting those dreads off. That's how mad it was making me. But i haven't cut my hair in like 2 years, so i just couldn't do it. Paula said:

Well you try black tea. Also you could start sleeping with a loc sock on. I personally like the loc sock because it keeps my locs need around the edges andddddddddddd....keeps the lint out. I purchased a couple off their clearance site ( http://stores.cheaplocsocs.com/-strse-A-LOCK-SOCK-CLEARANCE-dsh-REDUCED-%245-AND-UP/Categories.bok )and then made me some in several different colours to go with various outfits.LOLAs a guy you might wanna just get a black or brown one and call it day...but there are options. LOL

Thanks guys. So i found the black tea. I didn't realize that it was just regular old tea lol. I worked great. I'll have to check out the loc sock thing, too.

Cool...glad it worked :D

I feel silly asking this, but I don't think I've ever seen someone wear a lock sock. Are they supposed to be worn during the day or solely at night? Is it basically a thick headband/wrap thing? Jaquerian McCain said:
