Tie-dye decor, organic veggie/vegan foods, organic all natural gifts. Emphasis on breast feeding, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, basically anything you plan on doing with your baby. Now, I've not been to a gathering yet, so this is more 'hippie' based, but it could work.
would wraps help?
Dread Maintenance
Mine are at about 16 months and I still have tons of loose hair. It even seems that over the last couple weeks there's more than there used to be, especially on the left side by my forehead. You could try putting a heavy-ish bead over a dread with some of the local loose hairs added in, that may help get the roots tangles up a bit. I had combed out all the tiny dreads at my hairline on my neck. It took almost a year for any of that hair to knot up a bit. I still have more loose hair than dreaded hair in that area. I've thought about sectioning it and wrapping/beading it to encourage more knots, but I can't seem to find the right sections. So I'll let it do it's thing. It's a new lesson in patience.Personally, think you show great progress for 7 months. They're unruly teenagers right now, all leggy and funky. They look amazing. You're not doing anything wrong, your hair is just taking it's own sweet time.

Awesome! The only dunes I know of are at Bullards Beach, Or. A couple hours west on the coast.

Ok, I just mapped it, it's a bit more south and east then where I was thinking. That area is a bit more desert-ish. But mountains are close. I'm going to a conference thingie in Portland next weekend, I'll be meeting up with quite a few people from the Eugene and Bend areas, I'll pick their brains and find out if they know anything about it.

I know (kinda) the area that land is. I just can't say exactly what the winters would be like. I believe it's between Eugene and Sisters, Ore. Somewhat mountainish so winter would be fairly cold, most likely some snow. Summer nice and hot. I live near Tacoma, Wa now and that piece of land is about 5 hrs from me. I could be woken wrong on the area I'm thinking of, Christmas Valley or something right?
Rosemary for my hair
Dread Maintenance
I would think if it's like a tea (the herb boiled in water?) you could just add the acv to it then a quick rinse of plain water.
The "Constantly Changing" Law of Locks
Dread Maintenance
Mine aren't quite 18 months but I notice changes with every wash. A new lump or loop, I love it. If there's a decent sized dread that you wouldn't mind a bit bigger, encourage the tiny locks to congo with bigger one by putting a bead on the for a few weeks, or wrapping them together. As long as the roots are free to move and table together. I did this with two tiny locks and now they make a small lock
but the roots are nice and tight, there's a lot of hairs connecting further down.As for the loose hair, I would leave it. Unless it can be combined with the sketchy little ones! (Just thought of that lol). I have a love hate relationship with all my loose hair. I have 2 small bits that just finally got tangles with my last wash and I'm thrilled, but at the same time when they dread up I'm gonna miss those loose hairs.It's a nonstop cycle.
Do I re-do my dreads

Have you removed the wax? How long has it been? Once you get the wax out they'll soften up. They'll go insane then, loopy, kinky, zig zaggy.
