Be careful with the aloe its conditioning and can loosen dreads and stifle locking. you should try the locking gel from the same site you got the shampoo from. have a wonderful journey<3
Hey Riley!
I'm a newbie too so it's good to meetcha!
Hey there! Welcome aboard!
I too donated and really, it's nothing to donate a few dollars here and there to keep this information alive and accessible compared to the price one would pay for not having it available.
Look forward to seeing you around the site Riley.
oh don't even worry! i WANTED to donate a bit. You, especially, put a lot of time into this site and keeping it going for us, so it's the least i could do! in the future when my account allows, i will do even more! =]
i saw it was voluntary, so i volunteered! haha!
hey everyone, you have all been a giant help to keep me from making dangerous mistakes on my hair! i was going to go to a salon and pay $200 bucks to put in these locks. well i saved my money and did the R&T method [WAX FREE!!] with a friend who has dreadlocks. I already am using the nag champa shampoo that i have seen highly recommended and used their aloe gel to tame the frizz for work. so far so good and now i wait to let them progress as they want! i'm looking forward to being more active in the threads and building friendships. i just creeped and took notes before, but it's worth a couple bucks to join. i travel a lot, so who knows we may bump into each other along the way. may Yahweh bless you all for your patience and encouragement for us newbies!
my dad told me i would look dumb with dreads. i'm almost 25 and moved out at age 18. he said, "you're not a Rastafarian or Jamaican, so you don't need them." he also said i wasn't allowed to be a Messianic Jew. but that didn't stop me. it' really is a different world when you get out from under your parent's roof. as sucky as it seems, it is their house, their rules... i had this argument MANY MANY times growing up. =[
tell your mom that i have them too and that i want you to have them again!
