ive decided to go natural on my new set of dreads im at the one week mark had to cut them off because of work but it discusted me so much i went to my boss and said *explative* you its taken me some time to grow my hair out still really short though. i was twist and rip last time the reason im going natural/neglect is because i beleive (in my own opinion) that dreadlocks are not made they grow take a bonsai tree for instance just because you change the shape of it and control it does that mean you made the tree your hair like your heart and brain grows it knows what is needed let it grow im not getting dreadlock im letting my hair live freely and if dreadlocks is a result thats fine (dreadlocks is the ultimate goal) but everyday when i get up if i look in the mirror and i dont like them ill just adjust and move on with my day i have tried natural once and it didnt go well and ive finnaly found out what was the problem, I was running my fingers through my hair and fiddling with them and after about 5 months my hair didnt lock, it just looked greasy and yes i washed but i didnt use a baking soda wash, because like for a majority of people dreadhead hq got me and i still had the shampoo and it didnt do much using it, now i use baking soda wash with teatree oil etc........ anyways im keeping it in a tam till about 5 months only taking them out for a wash and dry or down time well wish me luck
p.s im doing tons better this time with natural I might even go to the extremes of useing rubber gloves when i touch them till they mature
