Helloooo

Introduce Yourself

I'd love to visit Australia someday. Hopefully before we have kids, cause I her you, when they are young, it;s hard to travel like that. We want to see Machu Pichu, but a hike like that wouldn't go over with a young'n. I always wanted to go to Cambodia, too. But more for the historical aspect.

We've all had that love/hate relationship. It wanes after a while when you stop thinking of yourself as the person with locks, and rather as that person who happens to have locks. The only thing I miss about having straight hair is being able to grow it out and donate it. No one takes dreadlocks for donations because you can't condition them. I would love to find people willing to cut their locks off and donate them to a real "locks" for love. Kids would probably get so excited to have hair that looks different than everyone else's.

General Talk

Tattoo's are way too personal to trust someone else's idea. As for where, For me, it always depended on the tattoo.

I spent about 10 years designing my back piece, and Am into my second year thinking about the one that'll be on my ribcage. I know the idea of the one on my left calf, but haven't gotten into the design stage yet.

I like nerdy tattoos. All of mine will be kind of geeky. I've got a whole Alice in Wonderland scene on my back, and a bass clef on my right shoulder. my ribcage will have the golden ratio spiral on it. My left calf will be a totem pole of all the animals that have meant something to me over the years, capped with a bird, because my fiance's spirit animal is a bird. and on the underside of my left arm will be the phrase "So it goes". If you don't get that one, you're not going to. At some point I want something either biology based or chemistry based. I kind of want a double helix, or maybe a mole.

What subjects do you like? If you are going to get a tat, it should be of something significant enough to you that you won't mind having it on you forever.

The come up with a design yourself, even if it's a crude drawing, and then set up an apt. with your artist and let them draw up a better version. They'll know what can and can't be done with ink and skin.

How many members has Soaring Eagle met?

Yeah, Eagle. You should still let me know when you're in town again. Unfortunately I'm in school most of the day during the week, but weekends are usually good to hang out

I just set my blow dryer on cool and prop it on an angle and sit down and read for a while moving my head around a lot so it doesn't just hit one area a ton

I'd leave them hanging freely as much as possible, so I wouldn't tie them back when you sleep, but like Eagle said, I don't like the lumps under my back and they are long enough that if my weight is on them, I can't move my head around, so I just toss them over the end of my bed. Don't know what I'll do when they're long enough to hit the ground. I don't have a headboard

And the sea salt should only be used about an hour or less before you wash. Otherwise it'll dry out your scalp and cause them to itchuncontrollably

So they are looking really good, but don't be scared when they fall out. There's really no need to re do them every time they come undone. It's part of the process. If you keep forcing them to tangle by tnring them or back combing them every time they untangle, they will take much longer to knot and mat on their own. With how they look now, I'd just let them be.

Keep washing them, but what you are doing with the baking soda is not going to help you. The way to do a BS wash is to get about a liter of water and mix in about 1/2 a tbls of BS and let itdissolve. Then pour it over your locks, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse it out.

As for the palm rolling, I started mine with it, and to be honest, It takes forever to do and they'll just come undone when you wash the next time, so why spend all that time palm rolling your hair. I'm sure there are other thing you could be doing with your day.

At the age that your locks are at, you should be washing more than once a week. The more you wash then faster they will knot. 2-3 times a week is better for young locks. When they mature, you can go down to once a week.

I'll let Eagle go into the hazards of Knotty boy products. he knows his stuff. But before he does, I'll just let you know that that stuff is pretty harmful to your hair.

I hope I wasn't too harsh. I tried to be polite, but there were multiple things I figured I could help you out with
