History and Religious Significance

Peace...

It seems that not only is this person ignorant but, got some serious toxic issues.. if this person isn't interested in enlightenment of the truth.. I would really try and cut this person loose...oh there is also the age old hueman emotion of jealousy and fear..or your just to brave to be yourself and they just don't get it.. either way, create a little space between you and them..

History and Religious Significance

Peace ...

I couldn't agree more..

It seems that the roots of most of "modern man's" problem is the very false, contradiction of the term of "race".. there is only ONE race and that is human or what I like to say," Hue-Man. " Now are there many various cultures well of course, ethnicities certainly but, to divide people due to color of skin is just plain assinine all together and except to divide or discriminate or to conquer without feeling remote or to justify terrible bad behaviour, The term of race i.e. "Black or White" is just evil..however a serious long term thought process that is repeted over and over again because it used to describe an individual.. but unfortunately it still have a negative history of association with that and false information of history pertaining to culture as well.

Dreads & racism

Life Issues Facing Dreads

Blessed...
Hopefully I can reason alittle with you..first you right about dreads being an ancient style of one wearing their hair.
So yes many cultures embrace this style for various reasons be it cultural, religious or just the way that group wore they hair..no big whup!!
However much as changed and though information is out there many do not seek or research the root of what causes one group to do something especially when we also live in an age of so much misinformation, it is easier to assume then to think or research facts..
Now there is the reality of oppression and racism whether overt or covert in this real world these are real issues. With that being said, though your boyfriend has the moral right to wear his hair anyway he want, there is still much tention about cultural identity especially when one identifies them selves as caucasian who has embraced a cultural "style" that for the most part has been identified as "African" or of people of color, most like you might experience the same vibe if he wore Native American apparal and was walking through a reservation or the like.
Though there has been various people who have conquered and oppressed other people for land, resources,and people unfortunately Caucasians have that history almost exclusively even if it not always true coming from a historial prospective..so in a nutshell.. once again it "appears" that a "white man" has "stole" from another people of culture hair style or what might relate to them.
If one doesn't know any better it is easier to come to that conclusion instead of one looking at him embracing Africa or even his own roots (Irish, Scotts and other European culture of old dreadlocked too) but you don't see pictures of these people..once again mis-education and thus misinformed..thus ignorance.
And yes, adults who don't know act the same way regardless of hue of skin..sad but true.

residue free shampoo.

Introduce Yourself

Peace... I do natural hair care and no matter what you use on your head the secret is to dilute any shampoo with water like 2:1 that is two parts water to one part shampoo.. the first wash isn't going to lather but the second one will and not unless your hair really needs it then the third shampoo will really lather then rise,rise, rise, and rise some more..

Believe or not I have thought about that when I was much younger and I never got a chance..if I were to do that I would most definately have some kind of cheddar in the bank for those unexpected thing that can happen. Then pray on it.. "divine ideas do not conflict" but if there are things stopping you things that keep popping up that means that it might be a righteous idea but the timing is bad.. pay attention to the signs..and Alway be prepare which is a motto I really try to live by..carry some basic tools with you and yes a seriously sharp knife .. it is better to have and not need it then to need it and not have it ! Do some research on what is happening in each town you go before you go "if" you can, and good luck with your endeavors!

Neglect + Twist & Rip

Dreading Methods

Peace..I am not sure about the rip part of the process however in the early days of my locking my hair there were some dreds that I felt at the time were get too fat and since I twisted them it was a little easier to "rip" the little suckers..well since then I have developed some wisdom and real-eyed that in time locks condense so what was thick to me later became thinner..Now I am thicken them up by allowing them to lock together at the root and I help that process by either twisting them at the roots or binding them with the new growth and let nature do her thing!!
