Heyo.
I'm only like a couple months into the freeform method. It was accidental, I stopped brushing because I hate my straight hair and it would at least get a little wavy the longer I went without brushing. They started appearing and I don't see a reason to brush them out. There's only like four locs back there, but I think they're adorable.
I am hoping this community is a little more welcoming than r/dreadlocks. I've posted there twice trying to get help and support and I think whenever I mention I have straight hair, they immediately dismiss me. So sorry I look different than the typical loc-er, but I hope I'm still allowed to have locs.
Thanks! have lost a few of the dreadball ends on some longer ones that get stuck behind my back/shoulders when I'm driving and one in a raincoat zipper .
Also nice to be able to tie them up loosely using two longer dreads.
Hope you and all you other dreadlocksite users are all good, notwithstanding pandemics etc.
- slowly does it. and some crazy olde dawg.....
@benzene994 I would be able to take a few bottles from you if you get anything Sorted with Vickis (May have frieind or 2 that might take some too). I've been using her "Scratch attack" for a few years now ,its good stuff and lathers really easily for a small amount (Luckily I'm in the far S.West with soft water)
Also I seem to remember there's a UK dread-section somewhere on here might be worth looking into?
Warning - one of my orders from Vicki got hammered by customs charges (think they do a random sample cos tother on got thru no problems)
Interested to know more about the Soap-nuts if you get to try them.
Good luck G
Hi Lunakat, that's really good to see and your words were very encouraging too. I've got a kind of lop-sided look going as one side is dreading faster; I'm being patient and trying to avoid touching the less locked up side (after SE's latest advice) Just accepting the difference is part of reassurance they will turn out ok eventually(yours look awesome and have encouraged me - like your colouring too).
I'm nearly at three years, so must get my daughter to help get some photos to post soon, thanks for the inspiration, keep on dreading.
Hope all's good with you in the states (Covid/ Lockdown etc notwithstanding), Looking forward to spring around the corner soon, and getting to some growing in the garden (Yard I think you guys call them!)
SE...hope you're OK for funding, I would contribute a bit if I can, and reckon quite a few other site users would too.
ok thanks for that... hope all's well with everyone stateside...
Evenings are starting to get lighter, thinking of planing/planting some veg seeds etc as spring is just around the corner
keep dreading and stay safe
Thanks, does that mean I should try to sleep more with my head on the left or right side ?
'Fraid not SE, usually sleep on my back, occasionally front or side. Have not noticed which side I sleep on most. Any other ideas?
