Hey welcome!, if you have any questions as time goes on feel free to ask around

if you used a dreadkit before would you ever use a dread kit again?

Dreading Methods

Nope.everything in the kit is just an overpriced substitute for thing you can easily get elsewhere,the comb can be gotten somewhere else cheaper, you can make your own shampoo,*locking accelerator* which is sea salt in a bottle, and of course the wax.Of course the kit is really designed to be marketed to those who are very worried over how their dreads will looks and feeds the mentality of "better safe than sorry" which is ironic considering some of their products. but really anything I could have ever needed I could have gotten here pretty cheap/free

Musty Smelling Hair

Dread Maintenance

are you sure its not just a kinda faint smell of sweat or w/e, sometimes i kinda get hints of that right be4 I usually soak them.only other thing I can think of is do you spend alot of time indoors over long periods of time? maybe they aren't drying well, or hell maybe what your experiencing is only temporary.least what SE suggested should cure that.

Dreading Methods

RBN said:

for me, i think backcombing method is the best. i used it. it has worked. now im just leaving them to do what thyey want, but seperating them once in a while. im thinking of putting beads in places where there is frizz so that the beads hold the frizz together with the dread. good or bad idea?

I've got a few beads on one dread that really kinda helped with what you're describing, I wasn't trying to force the frizzy hairs to get back in there but over time its kinda helping it out alot,on topic- I think the curlier your hair is the better neglect works for you,back combings my 2nd, I'd probably do it more with a more aggressive approach than a lighter though.

What is a Hippie?

Alternative Lifestyles and Subcultures

I can't consider myself to be a hippie, (my girlfriend definitely so) but I've never had anything negative come to mind when I hear the word, anyone who looks at them as a whole would be hard pressed to come up with anything negative about them, aside from those who are mostly miserable people to begin with *such as the fucking dumb asses on the internet that SE posted about in the other thread*

just used SEs baking soda wash

salon dread guide (if you must go that route)

Dreading Methods

:fashion dread salon dread lable discrimination factor" thats something you don't hear every day I remember one salon lady on youtube backcombing some dummy hair with a very uncomfortable look on her face, at the end of it and twisting it ridiculously she mentioned "normally you'd put some sort of glue in this to hold it" that just confirmed the vibe she was giving. *facepalm*
