Beast from the east!

Hey everyone, I'm Nora, I'm from Finland but for the past year have been living in lovely Scotland.

I've been dreading "all natural" (no products or combs) for 6 months now, and I have to say, I love it. At first I thought, "oh no, it takes so long, oh no, lumps and swirls and weird shit will happen!" but I don't think I've ever done anything better with my hair - it's so exciting to wake up every day and see some odd, new thing in my hair. All my hair's mostly dreaded well now, the fringe is just starting, so this will be exciting as well.

I realise I'm banging on about crap, but most of all I wanted to say: thank you, so much, for this site. When I first looked into dreading last spring, I thought wax was the only way to go, and I actually went so far as to order a DHHQ wax kit, but thank god I was out when they tried to deliver it (and subsequently I forgot all about it) otherwise I'd have sticky candles instead of nice, soft dreads. Thankfully I found this place. So, soaring-eagle, this site is great, and thanks.

I'll post pictures of my progress tomorrow if I can.

Haha, awww.

I didn't get a refund unfortunately, 'cause the package was taken to the "main" post office (which is a 2-hour walk from my flat) and I kept forgetting to request a redelivery so I could send it back. But ah well - it wasn't too much, about 15, and it'll be a lesson in hasty buying.

Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer, that - but I guess such is the way of our consumerist culture now. :P It's okay, though - since dreadlocks are becoming more popular, all we need is sites like this one to come up in the top searches on Google, and business for DHHQ will start going down.
