to be a perfectionist means putting hundreds of hours of work into em some 4 hours a day others 15-20 hours a week rolling rubbing poking holes in em plastering wax on em sewing dreadballing fussing over em obseesively and all that is just adding dammage to dammagedreads look incredible in theyre natural state..hell they are your hairs natural stateso why keep fighting the natural state just to get the appearance of hairs natural state but without all the organicness of truly natural dreadsim nit saying u must go natural im just saying why go farther and farther from natural trying to force some false imige of perfection Boobie said:

advice on dreads
dreads happewn without effort
the more force you put into dreads the more dammage u do and the more painful it is
speeding up the process rarely really speeds things up much, just creates the illussion of accomplishment in the early weeks
the journey to dreadiness is a journey not a race
its better at a leasurely pace as you enjoy the scenery, not a nerve wracking white nuckle race to win
relax..enjoy the ride the destination will be reached 1 way or the other so enjoy the ride
ok, if you had 1 chance in your lifetime to cross europe without any restrictions onttime money anything woulsd you fly from 1 coast to the other skipping everything between and have ypur trip of a lifetime over in a few hours.. or.. go by bike and enjoy every magical momment along the way..
make your dread journey the trip of a lifetime and enjoy the beauty of setting out on a journey that has no set expectancy and just go and go and go till u get there..
ya know u dont even need a map..
but here u got alotta freindly folks willin to point out the best routes and help u find yoir way
