Where Can One Find Realistic Dreadlock Wigs (For One Who's Bald and Hates It)

General Questions

Some wealthy people, artisans, professionals etc.., out of the goodness of their hearts, will help out someone that has a story, and you certainly would be that person. I know of denture clinics that will help out financially impaired young people who have lost their teeth or need them all pulled, they will do the dentures for free or a very reduced rate. It is a life changer for the customer and a good feeling for the professional. Who knows, may be worth a try???

I like Soaring Eagles idea of a dreaded beard. My husband is completely bald and I find him very sexy and handsome. Maybe time for dreads there?

What about using the web and looking up wig makers in Hollywood CA. I would think you could latch on to one that makes wigs for the movies. Have you tried this route already? (let them know it is not for costume)

All drug stores here in Canada sell it, so you should have no problem I think finding it where you are. Yep, that one in the photo.

I also have hard water and learned the hard way about residues. Absolutely use the anti residue shampoo, works like a charm, when rinsing it out, your will see the water color change from the residue. Your hair will feel different right away. When using the proper ratio of BS, I have never had a problem with it due to hard water. Hard water makes it a trial and error journey, just read Heather's page to read about hers, once you use the anti residue shampoo, use the BS/ACV until you order from Dreadlock Shampoo, then you WILL be fine.

For the baking soda, mix 1/2 cups BS with 5 Cups water, pour on head, don't scrub & leave on for 10-20 minutes, then rinse rinse rinse. Then for the Apple Cider Vinegar, mix 1-2 capfulls into 5 cups of water, pour on head and rinse right away. Finish off with a cold water rinse.

The ratio is important for the baking soda to do it's job. Try with the measurements above. Peace

just under half a cup of baking soda and a full basin of hot water (plus some essential oils and sea salt), 3 table spoons of ACV and another full basin of water.

What is the ratio you are using for the Baking Soda wash and the ACV rinse?

FIRST POSITIVE COMMENT ON MY HAIR!!!

General Talk

A random comment does mean so much to us. The first year we may have days of discouragement when we see a reflection of ourselves in the mirror, window, etc and see what a mess our hair must look to others. They can't see what we envision 3 or 5 years from today. So Ojas, that means you are on your way to dreads, they were NOTICED !!... It only takes one positive vibe to turn it all around.... Congratulations on the happy feeling and on your journey.

I swear by Water.

Dread Maintenance

We learn something new all the time. Thanks Tim & Amanda. It makes sense that if the dreads dry completely, then mold won't happen. I was thinking that the thicker sections might stay slightly damp, but dry is dry. Being a smoker, it is good to know that I can rinse two days in a row if needed

Peace

. You can most certainly wet your hair everyday, it just needs to dry. I had some dreadlocks for ten years and the way I did it is not going to be right for anyone else. The basic thing of, keep them clean, let them dry does apply.
