if it was it would be so slow and boring with very lil content
just some washing and seperating tips and some pictures
maybe some discussion of spirituality
but 90% of the content we have would not exist if this was a neglect dreads only site
this is a healthy dreads site with the emphasis on keeping dreads heakthy minimising harm
both before dreading in choosing healthier methods (to suite your needs uif a dread perm or crochet is the only way to go for u then so be it)
but we do streess the importance of making informed decisions in how u begin that means providing the best information out there
now some ppl like to make u think this is a neglect site only
they sacrifice the quality of info just to make you think we look down on you if you dont go neglect
they love to give poor info that makes you think we hate u if u dont go neglect or choose other methods they claim these methods arent as harmful as they are to make u think we are just haters on non natural methods
on maintenance these same ppl will tell u do nothing but seperate
but
if u did do other stuff they will try to make u think we look down on u..we dont however we...like them will recomend u do nothing but seperate
these people are troublemakers only they want you to believe your looked down on or not welcome if you didnt go neglect
its funny since i personaly recomend twist and rip many many times every week even every day ive helped many freinds i love alot to twist and riop never once making them feel bad for not going neglect
this site would not be as big and popular as it is if we didnt help ppl who crocheted or waxed to recover from that
we wouldnt be any good if we didnt help ppl recover from salon disasters (yea i see u back yoshi haha srry to signal u out but your a great example)
some of our oldest most suportive members (tho not as active since she lost her dreads recently and been super busy) was a dread permed dread
only about 1/2 the sites gone neglect so i really dunno how these ppl insist that your looked dowbn on if u dont go neglect
but they sure do try to make u believe it
dont fall for the negativity
we love all dreads
we just want em to be healthy as can be
now..cue the negativity cause im sure theyre gonna give quite a reaction..but have no fear theres less then 10 of em
(tho there maybe more who are sucked into believing them)
hell i wanna say thank you to all tye dreads we saved from wax both before waxing and those we helped recover
without u this site woulkd be small unknown
the same goes for crochet
i know most are glad they stopped and theres kless then 7 on site who still crochet (cant think of any who still wax)
this sites biggest value is in the help it offers to those who did not go neglect thats why it exists and has grown so much
those going neglect rarely need much help just reassurance and mostly are the ones who offer the most help
(tho most of you are very helpful too)
concidering 1/2 the members alnmost are neglect (maybe 40% i dunno) less then 1/6th of didscussions (except timelines) are neglect related
(but for some reason the suposed neglect elitism that doesnt really exist gets injected into many discussions on crochet wax backcomb anything just to make u think that your looked down ion) there are a very small number who like to imply that your looked down on if you dont go neglect
but they imply it all iver so much that its now wovwen into the fabric of the site so it seems real
(banning 3 people would erase all traces ..well maybe 5..and that myth would disapear with them)
but i woukld rather address this like an adult
out in the open
we aee not now nor will we ecer be a neglect only site that is never the intention
the only intention is to keep dreads healthy
make dreading easy
less work more fun
cheap too
less cosrt more efedctiveness
but some people will have you think thats a bad thing
i think most of you know better
the rest well
if yiou chose to feel looked down on maybe you should look at whos telling you that your looked down on
telling u wax or crochets a bad idea isnt the same as saying your ugly and your feet stink
but somehow some ppl feel that way cause certain ppl keep saying that you are not respected or treatted equaly if you did these things
i think everyone who was helped to recover was pretty thinkfull they were told the truth
