I know that mud baths are good for the skin, I wonder if a "mud mask" for the hair would be equally beneficial for the scalp. :P

Have you tried chalking the tips?

hmm.. i wouldn't think mud would be good for dreads.. actually i did henna before on my dreads ( which is deff like mud) and I was soo sorry I did!! I was freaking out because I couldn't get it all out!! there were pieces of it like stuck in my dreads.. so i scrubbed the hell out of my hair for two days in a row and it finally came out.. I hated like touching my dreads and having to feel this stuff in them.. i was picking it out.. it was a bad move on my part. .

chalking looks really cool but i wouldn't do it. my daughter tried this once and never again. after applying it she went about her day. anything your hair will come in contact with will be left with chalk residue also don't do it if there's any chance of rain. it washes off really easily so on a rainy day your bound to have multi colored clothing by days end.

if you do decide to do it, make sure you use soft pastel chalk not oil pastels.

thanxx for the tip .. yeah it sounds kool, but i personally wouldn't try it.. chalk is messy! i remember when I was little it would get all over anything i was wearing, and in my hair.. makes sense it would rub off on cloths when you think about it.. :o) .. but i'm sure there easier methods to dying dreads without dying them.. i know there is food coloring.. i've never tried that either, but i hear it works, but washes out very quickly.... hmmm..

I didn't have much of a problem with the chalking but I wore black so it's hard to say if it "stained" my clothes or not. :P

did it wash out easily??

Ive put earrings without a match in mine before. I love the way a little jewlery snazzes them up.
