Should i stop???

General Questions

I totally agree with taye. Why would you stop? Just continue to do what you've been doing for your hair to dread up and when the time comes, you'll have dreadlocks. As simple as that. And you could be surprise!

My locks are falling apart!

Help! Save My Dreads

It happened to me alot at first too, and I was really unsure what to do about it. But in time, everything began to lock so well that I wonder why I was so scared to have ruined my dreads. Don't worry too much about it, even though worrying is part of the process of learning to let go

Dread beads

Dread Accessories

Did you check on Etsy? You might find some really interesting beads, and possibly from some shop near your country and save on the shipping. I saw alot of beads shops on there! Love.

Hemp vs Wool?

Dread Products

Like taye said, hemp is just like linen and will soften over time. But usually, when knitted or crocheted to wear, people use already pretty soft hemp yarns. Hemp is such a beautiful fabric, so comfortable, not to warm (alot like cotton or linen) and as you said, environment-friendly like no other plant fiber.

dreads jobs employment issues

Of course, this isn't exactly the same, but when I was studying massage therapy, we had some issues about stretched ear lobes, tattoos and dreads. One of my wise teachers simply told us that if our employer wouldn't accept us as we are, maybe it just wouldn't be a place where we would fit or like to work. Good luck. Love.

redo or leave them alone?

General Questions

Rosemary and tea tree oil sure helps with dandruff, especially with all the itching. But if it doesn't work enough for you, try using sage essential oil instead. If you suffer from epilepsia, are sensitive to convulsions or are not sure about it, try salvia sclarea. But normally, salvia officinalisshould be okay. Sage is one of the most powerful essential oil for drandruff issues. Plus its known for its purification, soothing, antibacterial, antifongic and aphrodisiac properties. It helps control natural body oil production, is a scalp tonic and improve blood flow. That's what I've been using since I began growing dreadlocks and I practically have had no itching or dandruff problems since. Wish I would have tried it sooner. Facepalm.

Good luck with your journey. Love.

My husband really didn't like dreadlocks before I started mine. He felt so unsecure about my decision, but like Barrellady's hubby, he respected it. But now, only 6 weeks after I started my journey, he's completely digging it and even wants to grow dreadlocks for himself. So keep believing dear, miracles do happen! Love.
