Backcombed & now neglecting

Dreadlocks Journey Emotional Support

So I've been backcombing my hair for a couple of weeks now, I finished my whole head. (I took my time doing it of course, not in no rush) But I was neglecting my hair for a while, but it wasn't doing anything. My hair is too straight, so I backcombed to somewhat hurry the process of them. But after doing this, I'm just going to let nature do the rest. I've been using baking soda still & also, I'll use liquid dreadlock shampoo that I bought from dreadlockshampoo.com . Well I called my dad today to tell him (I always keep him updated with my life) & he was pretty much telling me that I'm not going to be able to get a job. It's worse enough I'm having trouble already, but I'm hearing all these things about how I won't be able to with dreadlocks. I know jobs can't discriminate, but they can always not hire for "other reasons". I'm not regretting that I started doing this, but I don't know if I'll be able to start working. Another thing I didn't think about is that I'm living with my boyfriend & his grandmother (who is very old-fashioned) I took out my lip piercing a few months ago because she would always comment about it. She did not like it at all. She would not stop looking at it. & it's like this about my tattoos also. & now I feel like she's staring at my hair constantly. I look like simba by the way (my significant other just gave me this name) My hair's straight poof. (I'm going to buy a slouchy beanie though. I just need to feel better about this. I don't want judgement upon me, but me doing this is pretty much asking for it.

Life Issues Facing Dreads

Well it's an indoor pool, it's in Indiana. So it's probably snowing there. The hotel I'm staying has a water park indoors. I do wash it, I just needed to know if it would mess up the dread process. I have the dreadlock shampoo by the way, I'm not using baking soda anymore. So it will be okay to go in the chlorine water?

soaring eagle said:

yes..it will get wet

and its mid winter (here at least) so will freeeeeze

maybe yoir in australia or somwhere warm in that case..it will just get wet

has your hair ever caugght fire from getting wet/

or melted?

or turned orange or green?

or glowed in the dark?

water has 1 effect on hair..gets it wet

oh

if it is chlorinated wet the dreds very well 1st to lessen water absorbtion (chlorine absorption i mean)

then wash after..but not with baking soda!
