who here has dreads and isn't Rastafarian?

General Talk

I started my dreads about a year after I started getting into the Pagan religion. I didn't do it to 'look cool' or to 'fit in', I done it to express myself and learn lessons that the process of locking teaches. The most important one is patience and that would be the #1 thing I had a problem with. I respect everyone's religion and I think that the whole process of dreading is more about getting to know and express yourself and help you learn lessons that can be used in everyday life rather than just church or groups.Oh and I posted this off from yours Faelwynn because I totally agree with what you say not because I'm against it =] Blessed be Faelwynn said:

Dreadlocks are so old as a hair style and way of life that I believe it is impossible to know their 'true nature'. I wear mine as a form of spiritual expression... so in a way it's a very spiritual journey for me as well. However, I am not Rastafarian in the least. I'm a pagan, and very very proud of it! I also have Celtic roots, so my dreads are an expression of myself on a number of different levels!

Hey:)

Introduce Yourself

I used a bed sheet last time so the fuzzies don't get in your hair. Just like squeeze every dread with the sheet and that should get them fairly dry.

Introduce Yourself

Hello. I'm Tricia and I am new as well! The only thing I can say is when you start getting impatient, don't take them out. I combed mine out after the first month and I cried. They were frizzy and i didn't do enough research I guess to know that they will get frizzy. I am planning on doing them again on Friday and I will make it this time lol. I love dreadlocks. The way they look, the way they feel, just everything about them. We can do this journey together =]
