white people with dreadlocks

History and Religious Significance

I hate reading most comments on the internet (not here of course ) and especially youtube, they are just so mean and intentionally hurtful. I try not to read them, but it makes me sad that so many people are like this. I'm too sensitive I know, I take things to heart, this is what's kept me from growin dreads for 39 years, and I'm not going to wait any longer. I am not telling anyone, that will invite their negativity, I am just going to do it I'm glad there's a place with kind human beings where I can come to visit.

Yea currently my youtube channel is taking some heat because I'm white and have dreadlocks. Their arguments are ignorant and their hatred is strong.

I didn't even bother trying to argue with them but maybe I will give them a link to this section of the forums.

YES IT IS RACIST TO HATE ON A PERSON WITH DREADLOCKS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEIR SKIN ISN'T DARK ENOUGH FOR YOU. ANYONE CAN BE A RACIST A-HOLE.

Hey,!

I will try to answer you the best I can Tricia Micael. You should wash as many times as you wish but the best to dreadlock fast is 2 or 3 by week. Also you shouldn't make pnytail , let your hair natural without at or anything in it. Hats or ponytail will make it dreads slower. I also think you should'nt use so much normal conditionner that you mostly find in shop, because they are chimic and not so natural. SE will probably say you to condition your hair with vinegar rinse thats the best. Yes your hair are gonna dreads even if you don't think it will.

And many site say you that many things go wrong because they want you no to do the neglect method. If you woud, they won't be able to sell you their products.

Good luck I'm sure you're gonna be beautiful with your dreadlock hair . It is the most natural and peacefullhaircut ever.

oh shoot, I'm sorry, one more thing. I've been to many different sites and I've read that the neglect method "too many things can go wrong" but I don't see what could go wrong?

hi! this is the first day of the natural method, I used baking soda to wash, how long before I should wash again, a week? It seems like if I were just doing a couple different things, I would have dreads now, but : I wash with conditioned shampoo (every day) and I keep my hair in a knot/ponytail thing every mintue except to sleep - I haven't been TRYING for dreads, I just absolutely hate hair dryers, styling, curling irons etc. (I used to use them often when i was young) SO, if I use the baking soda wash (less frequently) keep my hair loose as much as possible, in time it will dread? (I have thick, wavy hair) thanks so much for any tips, I do so appreciate it. So glad ot be here, I don't know one person in my small town who will "approve" of dreads, and I used to think I was too old to start, but I havfe found the older I do get the less I care what others think So....it's time (I did try this YEARS ago, but gave up....not this time)

Have a great weekend!!

Trish
